Scammers are calling patients, pretending to work for the system, CMS or Aetna and are requesting personal information.
The calls come from the same area code as the ASC, but the callers are trying to steal patient information for identity theft and fraud, according to the report.
Monument Health told the news outlet they do not ask for personal information, such as Social Security Numbers or Medicare ID numbers, over the phone.
At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
