How to report
- Gather what you have. Your Medicare number, the statement or claim, the provider's or company's name, and the date of service.
- Write down what happened. Note dates, names, phone numbers and caller ID, and keep any letters or envelopes.
- Call the provider first if it may be an error. A service billed twice is often a mistake. If the answer doesn't make sense, report it.
- Report to the right place. Use the table above. If you're not sure, start with 1-800-MEDICARE.
Protect yourself
- Read every Medicare Summary Notice or plan statement.
- Treat your Medicare number like a credit card number.
- If you think you were switched to a plan without your permission, call 1-800-MEDICARE.
- A licensed insurance agent must be licensed by the Oklahoma Insurance Department; you can check a license with its online lookup. See how to find a licensed insurance agent in Oklahoma.

Frequently asked questions
What are signs of Medicare fraud?
Charges on your Medicare Summary Notice or plan statement for care, tests or equipment you didn't get; callers offering braces, test kits or equipment if you give your Medicare number; and a plan change you didn't agree to. Compare your statements with your own calendar.
Can I report SoonerCare fraud anonymously?
Yes. The Oklahoma Health Care Authority says all fraud complaints are anonymous, and you can ask to stay anonymous when you report.
Will Medicare call me?
Medicare doesn't call to sell you anything or to ask for your Medicare number. If someone calls claiming to be from Medicare, hang up and call 1-800-MEDICARE yourself.
Who helps me decide whether something is fraud?
The Oklahoma Senior Medicare Patrol, run by the Oklahoma Insurance Department, helps people with Medicare spot and report fraud, errors and abuse. Its Report a Concern page lists how to reach it.
