Alert: Medicare Fraud Scheme Involving Phishing Fax Requests 

CMS has identified a fraud scheme targeting Medicare providers and suppliers. Scammers are impersonating CMS and sending phishing fax requests for medical records and documentation, falsely claiming to be part of a Medicare audit. 

It is important to note that CMS doesn’t initiate audits by requesting medical records via fax. Protect your information. If you receive a suspicious request, don’t respond.  

If you think you got a fraudulent or questionable request, work with your Medical Review Contractor to confirm if it is real or not.
