The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General (OIG) is alerting the public about fraud schemes related to the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19).
Individuals are offering COVID-19 tests to Medicare beneficiaries in exchange for personal details, including Medicare information. However, the services are unapproved and illegitimate.
Individuals are targeting beneficiaries in a number of ways, including telemarketing calls, social media platforms, and door-to-door visits. These individuals use the coronavirus pandemic to benefit themselves, and beneficiaries face potential harms. The personal information collected can be used to fraudulently bill Federal health care programs and commit medical identity theft.

Unfortunately, every so often scammers target Medicare beneficiaries. They claim to offer services in order to get members’ Medicare information to use for identity theft or fraudulent billing purposes.
One such scam is offering cheek swabs for genetic testing. If you agree to this or verify your personal or Medicare information, they will send you a testing kit even if it is not ordered by your provider or medically necessary.
To protect yourself from this scam:
To stay safe from all scams, guard all your personal information including your plan member ID number. Johns Hopkins Advantage MD will not ask you for your Social Security Number or your Medicare ID number before discussing your Advantage MD account with you. (We will ask for other identifiers, such as your address or date of birth.) If anyone other than your provider’s office requests your Medicare information, do not give it to them.
