KSL Investigators have been hearing from Utahns that COVID-19 test kits are showing up in their mailboxes unexpectedly.
MIDVALE — KSL Investigators have been hearing from Utahns that COVID-19 test kits are showing up in their mailboxes, out of the blue.
"I thought I was the only one getting charged," said Catherine Thompson. She received four COVID-19 test kits without ordering anything. A few weeks later, four more boxes of test kits showed up. And a couple of weeks after that, she got four more boxes.She reviewed her Medicare summary notice and saw charges for those test kits.
Turns out, scammers use stolen Medicare numbers to bill Medicare for COVID-19 test kits. The scammers pocket the money, and people like Thompson get kits they did not order. She received 16 in all, adding up to $700 in charges."It's sad because our government is having to pay out all this money," she said.When the COVID-19 Health Emergency officially ended, Medicare stopped paying for most of these test kits.
