We all know that obamacare will soon be here, but the scammers are already out there looking for someone to fall for their scams. They will email, fax, call and so anything that can to get your information. Here are some simple things to follow so you don't become a statistic
There is no card associated with health care reform. There is no new Medicare card and you do not have to update any personal information. The Health Insurance Marketplace (those exchanges) doesn’t open until October 1, so you can’t buy coverage under the Affordable Care Act until then. Don’t respond to a cold call of any kind, especially one that asks for personal information or money. And don’t trust your Caller ID; it can be spoofed to make it look like the call is coming from a government office. Don’t let anyone rush you. The rates in the exchange have been pre-approved and won’t change during the initial enrollment period, Oct. 1 to March 31. Anyone promising a “special price” or “limited time offer” or who tells you “spots are limited” is lying to you.
