How To Stop Medicare Scam Telephone Calls

Register your number on the National Do Not Call Registry, never answer calls from unknown numbers, and turn on built-in spam blocking on your smartphone. Medicare never calls uninvited to ask for personal or private information.

Other Steps to Stop the Calls

  • Block Numbers: Use your phone’s built-in features to block specific numbers, though scammers often spoof new ones.
  • Enable Spam Filters: Turn on "Silence Unknown Callers" on iPhones or "Caller ID & Spam" protection in Android phone settings.
  • Use Carrier Tools: Turn on free or low-cost spam protection apps provided by your mobile carrier (such as AT&T ActiveArmor, Verizon Call Filter, or T-Mobile Scam Shield).
