HHSC is warning Texans with Medicaid coverage to be aware of a scam where a caller asks them to provide a bank account number and tries to sell them a replacement Medicaid card.

The state is advising Medicaid clients who receive similar calls to report them by calling 800-436-6184.

"Please don't give any personal information to these callers," said Texas Medicaid Director Billy Millwee. "There's no charge for a replacement card, and we wouldn't ask for anyone's back account number. Just make a note of the number the call came from and report it to the state immediately."
