There seems to be a new scam or resurrected old scam going around. Got a call last night the spouse answered thinking it was someone we knew as it was from the same area code as our phones (719). The wife always puts her phone on speaker as it helps her hear better so I could hear the call as well. It was a woman with a heavy accent saying she was with a Medicare Provider Group wanting to know if she had received a new Medicare Card in the last 2 months. If not, could my wife please provide some information to verify herself, starting with her name, so that a new one could be sent. At that point I jumped in as asked this woman to please say again who she was with again and got the same answer, a Medicare Provider Group. I told the woman that she obviously was not with our Medicare provider and we hung up. I did a little lookup on this and it seems the idea is to get enough info that they can request a legitimate replacement card which is then used to submit fraudulent Medicare claims. I don't know if this was a one off, something with 719 numbers, or if it is something going around so I thought I would give a heads up. -
This thread got me to thinking about how we managed before there were cell phones! We thought that it was wonderful when we finally got an answering machine! -

Are telling us that you do that at every stop when traveling? We did always locate emergency medical care and hospitals when we stopped for an extended period, but only then. For pet care we have only needed a vet on 3 occasions that I can think of over more than 40 years of RV travels. On those occasions we got recommendations from local people and only 1 time was it an emergency visit. All 3 were while in an area for an extended period of more than a month. Over those same years, I had my wife to an emergency room twice for stitches and to a "doc in a box" clinic for illness twice. I think that I would agree that we should do those things but wonder how many of us do them? Should we do so at each 1 night stop, each 1 week stop, or for what period? I think that perhaps we were very lucky as we traveled with our children and didn't do that.
