We want to alert our patients and community members about a Medicre fraud scheme that has been brought to our attention. Several people have looked at their Medicare Explanation of benefits (EOB) falsely showing that your medical provider or a provider has ordered thousands of dollars of DME- durable medical equipment. What we have seen so far is for urinary catheters. This is fraudulant. Your provider did not order this equipment. If you have received something like this and believe it is fraud, please call Medicare at 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227). The people that have reported this activity, do not use or need any of this equipment. Once again, please be on the look out for fraudulant charges to your Medicare cards, and in some instances, they are issuing patients new Medicare cards.
