 Billions of tax-payer dollars are lost each year to Medicare and Medicaid waste, fraud and abuse. These health insurance programs provide security for you and your family.  Although the vast majority of healthcare providers are honest, the activities of the remaining few result in wasted funds for the Medicare and Medicaid programs and a loss of quality of care for you.

      You might have found an instance of Medicare or Medicaid waste, fraud or abuse if...You are billed for a service that you have not received; you are asked to provide your Medicare or Medicaid number when a service or supply is advertised as "free"; you continue to receive medical supplies when they are no longer necessary; You do not receive necessary medical supplies or treatments ordered (i.e. your prescription is for sixty pills but your vial only contains forty).

     Come to the library on June 24 at 2pm to learn more about how to protect yourself or a loved one.
