July 2025


According to an article from Health Exec, 103,000 Medicare Beneficiaries will be issued new ID numbers after accounts were created without their knowledge or consent.


The agency [CMS] announced on Monday [June 30, 2025] that it had begun notifying the approximately 103,000 people linked to suspicious account activity. It also stated that it’s deactivating the illegitimate accounts, as it collaborates with a third party to investigate the situation.  ~ Source Health Exec
