Senior Medicare Patrol of NJ:

Quarterly Newsletter

The Senior Medicare Patrol of NJ (SMP NJ) has released issue #37 of the SMP New Jersey Advocate, a quarterly newsletter that covers Medicare fraud, waste and abuse and other matters related to Medicare. This issue highlights Medicare Fraud Prevention Week and how to fight Medicare fraud.

In the “ASK CHARLES” column, Program Director Charles Clarkson addresses the issue of what to do if you discover your primary care doctor is not in your plan’s network.

Take a look inside or share with a Medicare beneficiary to help them learn about fraud and abuse. For more information about SMP NJ, visit seniormedicarepatrolnj.org or JFS Senior Services. If you would like SMP to cover a topic of interest to you and/or your beneficiaries, email office@jfsmiddlesex.org.

The SMP staff and volunteers work hard to combat Medicare fraud. Please let us know if you hear of any Medicare scams in your area.
