Good Afternoon,
We have heard from a community-based organization in California that one of the low-income seniors they serve was contacted by someone (not clear who) about the $200 Medicare drug discount cards announced by the Administration. The senior
gave the person their insurance information and was told that their drugs would come packaged in the mail. The incident has been referred to the SMP program in California.
The drug discount card program is still a proposal and has not been finalized. We wanted to bring this scam to your attention in case other older adults in your communities is a target of this scam.
