:60 PSA from AARP Pennsylvania on being vigilant about Medicare-related scams

-- :60 -- “If you or a loved-one is on Medicare, you should know that it’s open-enrollment season—which also means that it’s Medicare-fraud season. That’s because Medicare-related scams normally spike this time of year. ‘A-A-R-P Pennsylvania’ reminds everyone to be vigilant about potential fraud—and urges them to follow these tips: Enroll in identity- and credit-monitoring services. Obtain free credit-reports from the main reporting-agencies—and review your reports frequently. Contact law-enforcement, the ‘F-T-C’, and Medicare, if you uncover something suspicious—including in your quarterly ‘Medicare Summary Notice’. Specifically ask how companies and organizations will use your information. Choose unique passwords. And finally, be proactive about freezing your credit.
