Social Security and Medicare Info

DO NOT PROVIDE ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION (Social Security number, Date of birth, bank or credit card information) to ANYONE over the phone.

DO NOT PUT YOUR FULL SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER on Medical forms.

Your MD office does not need your SS# - only your Medicare number.

Social Security and the IRS will never call you, they correspond by letter.
