Warning: Watch for phone scam asking for health insurance information

Veterans Memorial Hospital (VMH) was recently made aware that a few people in the community have received a phone call, asking for their personal health insurance information.

Veterans Memorial Hospital warns everyone to never give their health insurance information out over the phone. Medicare will never call a patient to update or get insurance information, so never give that information out over the phone. Even if the caller knows the right name and address, it does not mean it is a credible call, they may have just gotten that information out of a phone book.

Be careful with all callers. Always contact Veterans Memorial Hospital with questions at 563-568-3411.
