SMP Scam Warning! If you are mailed a plastic Medicare card, don't "activate" it. Medicare is not sending plastic Medicare cards. This is a scam. If you get this letter, please report it to the SMP. Please contact VAS if you have any questions at 402-444-6617.

Do you know when to sign up for Medicare? Generally, you first become eligible 3 months before your 65th birthday, but when you need to sign up depends on several factors, including if you’re still working. For questions please contact VAS at 402-444-6617.

Remote patient monitoring (RPM) covers a wide variety of services a provider may offer to help monitor or assess certain chronic conditions.

If you see any RPM claims on your Medicare statement that you did not agree to, contact VAS @ 402-444-6617.

Happy 6/5! Most people become eligible for Medicare at 65 so we celebrate Medicare Fraud Prevention Week the week of 6/5 to help remember the steps to prevent, detect, and report Medicare fraud! #MedicareFraudPreventionWeek #MFPW

[VAS-Nebraska @vas_nebraska]

Download the SMP Medicare Tracker app to record what happens at health care appointments. Then compare what you have written with what is billed on the Medicare Summary Notices (MSNs) and/or Explanation of Benefits (EOBs).

Guard your Medicare card. Don’t give your Medicare number to anyone over the phone. Don’t text it. Don’t use it to sign up for “free” offers. Saying no is the best defense against scammers. #MedicareFraudPreventionWeek #MFPW

[VAS-Nebraska @vas_nebraska]

Do you know how to read a Medicare statement? If you don’t, this is a great time to learn!

Read your MSNs mailed every 12 months (anytime at https://t.co/zsTmzIAL1K) to find suspected fraud.

Last are our group of year-round counselors and volunteers who use their Medicare training at work (aka Pros). This group goes above and beyond to make sure clients have all the information they need to make decisions. Thank you so much for all of your hard work and dedication!

[VAS-Nebraska @vas_nebraska]

#volunteerappreciation week continues with a big thank you to all of the volunteers who did Medicare Open Enrollment counseling in 2025.

These volunteers helped over 2200 clients review their Medicare Part D or Medicare Advantage plan.

Thank you!
