Protect your Medicare

Don't become a victim of medical identity theft.

This post was contributed by a community member.

Approximately 2 million people become victims of medical identity theft each year. You can protect yourself from becoming a victim. Senior Medicare Patrol (SMP) empowers and assists Medicare beneficiaries, their families, and caregivers to prevent, detect, and report health care fraud, errors and abuse through outreach, counseling and education. SMP volunteers have an important role to play in addressing healthcare fraud. Contact us if you think you've been scammed, or would like to volunteer. Everyone can take action to prevent Medicare fraud, errors, and abuse.
