The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) issued an alert about a fraud scheme that uses phishing fax requests, which falsely claim to be from CMS staff, to obtain medical records and documentation for auditing purposes.

CMS does not initiate audits by requesting medical records via fax, and if you receive a suspicious request, do not respond. If you have additional questions about this alert, please reach out to Karissa Bjorkgren of CMS via email.
