Money Matters, Online: What Is Medicare Fraud?
Location
**This event is online only**
Medicare loses billions each year due to fraud, errors, and abuse. Issues related to these problems affect people across the country, often costing them time, money, and well-being.
Some common examples of fraud, errors, or abuse could include:
- Charging for services or supplies that were not provided
- Misrepresenting a diagnosis, a person’s identity, the service provided, or other facts to justify payment
- Prescribing or providing excessive or unnecessary tests and services
Learn about the NYS Senior Medicare Patrol (SMPs) and how they empower and assist Medicare beneficiaries and their families in preventing, detecting, and reporting health care fraud, errors, and abuse.
Presented by the NY Statewide Senior Action Council.
