Health care officials are warning the public that scammers are present, even when it comes to contact tracing. State and county health departments continue to reach out to those recently testing positive for COVID to see if they may have put others at risk of infection. Health officials say contact tracers will never ask for someone’s social security number, Medicare number, or financial information. If someone suspects health care fraud, they should contact the US Department of Health and Human Services.
