Information about the Medicare Part D prescription drug plan is in the news just about every day. Scam artists also follow the headlines, and they are reportedly contacting seniors claiming to represent a Medicare Part D provider, when all they really want is personal information, like Social Security numbers or checking or credit card account numbers. The Federal Trade Commission, the nation’s consumer protection agency, and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the agency that runs the prescription drug program, want you to know how to protect yourself and your personal information as you make important choices about your health care coverage.
