Ensuring seniors have the essential tools and resources to make informed decisions is crucial in protecting them from Medicare scams. The Senior Medicare Patrol of New Jersey (SMP-NJ) program excels in this mission.
On September 9th, SMP-NJ attended the Rahway Health Fair providing valuable information to community members on how to detect, prevent, and report Medicare fraud and abuse. In 2022, our SMP-NJ staff and volunteers educated 16,081 individuals on the importance of safeguarding their Medicare benefits to prevent fraud.
One of their notable achievements was the recoupment of $10,500 for Medicare beneficiaries, underscoring their commitment to protecting the healthcare rights and resources of seniors in New Jersey.
