Press release<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genesee County residents who receive Medicare should look out for new Medicare cards in the mail in the coming weeks. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) issued these new cards after a cybersecurity breach affected nearly one million beneficiaries nationwide. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you were one of the individuals affected, you will receive a new card in the mail.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new cards will include a different Medicare number to protect personal information. It is important
to know that this is a legitimate process, and you do not need to take any action to receive your new
card. However, please be aware of potential scams during this time.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Important Reminders:
No One Will Call You for Your Medicare Number: Medicare will not contact you to verify your new
Medicare number or request personal information. If you receive such a call, it is likely a scam.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Protect Your Personal Information: Do not share your Medicare number or any other personal
information unless you have initiated contact with a trusted source.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genesee County Office for the Aging is Here to Help:
If you have questions about the new cards or need assistance, the Genesee County Office for the Aging
is available to support you. Visit us at 2 Bank Street, Batavia, contact us at 585-343-1611 or go to
geneseeny.gov\/ofa<\/a>.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stay vigilant, and if you have concerns about your Medicare coverage or card, you can also contact
Medicare directly at 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
