Default Medicare Fraud Line

This is what I learned (I was sent 2 shipments of 8 kits). Apparently my medicare number was hacked. Three companies have fraudulently used my number! Only two have sent me kits. They then apply to medicare and are paid!!! The only way Medicare knows of this illegal abuse of our taxes is to report the abuse and insist it stops!
866-720-5721 is the fraud line where you can report this, but it takes perseverance. This is a huge fraud. We keep getting unwanted tests from different sources and Medicare IS paying for them. Save the name and address of the sender to give to the fraud line. Hopefully it will help.
