And there are organizations… who can help the elderly get through …some of life's daily chores They told her the cooking and cleaning were free… They told her Medicare wanted to help… They never told her she was being signed up for hospice care she didn’t need. Her medical records changed. Treatments were denied. And thousands were billed in her name. This is **Fraud in a Moment** and the truth starts now. **Lessons Learned for Senior Audiences** 1. **Guard your Medicare number like a credit card.** Never give it to strangers, door‑to‑door visitors, or unsolicited callers. 2. **Medicare does NOT offer free housekeeping, cooking, or home‑care perks.** Anyone claiming this is lying. 3. **Only your doctor can certify you as terminally ill.** No organization can enroll you in hospice without your doctor’s involvement. 4. **Be skeptical of anything that sounds “too good to be true.”** Free gifts, free services, or discount packages are common bait. 5. **Check your Medicare statements regularly.** Look for charges you don’t recognize—especially hospice‑related services. 6. **Report suspected fraud immediately.** Call **1‑800‑MEDICARE**. You will never be in trouble for reporting.
