Make an Impact Against Medicare Fraud
Volunteer for the Senior Medicare Patrol Program and Make an Impact Against Medicare Fraud!
Help protect your community from Medicare Scams by volunteering to tackle the multi-billion dollar healthcare fraud problem. Senior Medicare Patrol (SMP) grassroots efforts are successful, because retired volunteers across the nation empower Medicare beneficiaries to detect and report healthcare fraud.
