Protecting your personal information is the best line of defense in the fight against Medicare fraud and abuse. Take an active role in protecting your healthcare benefits:
Even when you do everything right, there is a chance that you could be a target of fraud. Detect fraud by examining both the Medicare Summary Notice (MSN) you receive from Medicare after your claims are paid, and the Explanation of Benefits (EOB) you receive from your Part D plan after buying prescription drugs, or after using your Medicare Advantage Plan.
If you suspect fraud in your healthcare, report it!
