“Your MyChart Medicare Kit Awaits!” — There Is No Kit, and Even the Unsubscribe Link Is a Trap (2026)

No — there is no kit. No — there is no kit, and MyChart does not run giveaways. The “MyChart Medicare Kit” or “Senior Health Package” message impersonates the patient portal used across the country and signs off as “MyChart Health Network” of Verona, Wisconsin — an entity that doesn't exist (Epic, MyChart's real maker, is in Verona; the “Health Network” name is invented). More than 41 hospital and health systems, plus Pennsylvania's Attorney General, warned about it in a single week. The goal is your MyChart login and personal information — the door to your full medical record. Epic confirms the platform itself wasn't breached. Click nothing in the message, not even unsubscribe.

“Your MyChart Medicare Kit Awaits!” email or text — real?

Why now · September 2026

Why you’re seeing this now

An email or text claiming you've been selected for a free “MyChart Medicare Kit” or “Senior Health Package” has now triggered warnings from more than 41 hospital and health systems in a single week, plus Pennsylvania's Attorney General. It impersonates MyChart, the patient portal used across the country, and signs off as “MyChart Health Network” at a Verona, Wisconsin address that doesn't actually exist — Epic, MyChart's real maker, is in Verona, but that entity is invented. The goal is your MyChart login and personal information, which opens the door to your full medical record and follow-on identity theft. Two traps catch people off guard: the link text often doesn't match where it actually goes, and even the “unsubscribe” link in these messages is malicious. Epic has confirmed the platform itself wasn't breached — scammers are just riding its name — and MyChart never runs giveaways. Report it, don't click anything in it, and check any link before you do.

The exact words they use

Quoted from documented versions of this script so you can recognize it on sight. The words are the scammer’s — the patterns inside them are what give the con away.

“Your MyChart Medicare Kit Awaits!”

Signed “MyChart Health Network,” a Verona, Wisconsin entity that doesn't exist — real MyChart maker Epic is in Verona; that “Health Network” name is invented, and MyChart does not run giveaways.

Script language quoted for recognition — if the message in your hand reads like this, you already have your verdict.

The checklist

Five red flags — any one is enough

A “congratulations” subject line about a free Medicare Kit or Senior Health Package you never requested.

Signed by “MyChart Health Network” or a similar entity you can't independently verify.

The visible link text doesn't match where the link actually leads.

Instructions to move to a computer to “verify,” “fix,” or “unlock” your MyChart account.

Even the unsubscribe link in the message is part of the scam — don't click it either.

What to do now

Your next three moves

1

Verify through a channel you open yourself — open the MyChart app, or type your health system's portal address yourself. If anything were really waiting for you, it would be there — never at the end of the message's link, whose visible text often doesn't match where it actually goes.

2

Refuse the ask: there is no kit to claim and no account to “verify,” “fix,” or “unlock” from a link. Enter your MyChart login nowhere the message sends you — and don't click the unsubscribe link either; it's part of the scam.

3

Report it at reportfraud.ftc.gov and to your health system — more than 41 hospital and health systems, plus Pennsylvania's Attorney General, are already warning about this wave — and check any link in the message via the $2 instant check.
