By now, everyone should have received their new Medicare Health Insurance Card. Scam artists may try to get your personal information, like your current Medicare number by contacting you about your new card. Medicare will never call you uninitiated and ask you for personal information to get your new Medicare number and card. People will continue to try and steal your new Medicare number, but they’ll never be able to steal your identity with it again. Always read your Medicare summary Notices to make sure no one is billing for services in you name. If you are suspicious of a call or letter call your local Montana SMP at 1-800-551-3191.

A very Important Path to Safety is to make sure your heating equipment is serviced regularly. Contact your heating contractor for a system tune-up every heating season or two. It is extremely important to keep your outdoor natural gas meter clear of snow and ice. Be sure to check all external vents as well as your dryer vent. Another safety measure is to install a carbon monoxide detector. Carbon monoxide is an odorless, tasteless, invisible gas and can be very toxic. Some of the first indications of poisoning are dizziness, fatigue, nausea, mental confusion and heart palpitations.
