🚨 WOUND CARE SCAM ALERT! 🚨

Scammers are fraudulently billing Medicare for wound care supplies, such as gauze, bandages, and adhesive, that beneficiaries may not need or receive.

🔎 What should you look for?
• Check your Medicare Summary Notice (MSN) or Explanation of Benefits (EOB) regularly.
• Look for charges for wound care supplies you did not need, receive, or have prescribed by your doctor.
• Be especially cautious of charges for large quantities or specialized wound care supplies.
