"In only a few months of work, the Senior Medicare Patrol has reached out and educated hundreds of senior citizens on how to detect possible fraudulent billings, scams and other abuses. The result is we now have a statewide network of people who are acting as the eyes and ears of the Medicare program. With this network, we've developed strong leads to follow, and been given access to the evidence needed that can lead to the arrest and conviction of suspected fraudsters," said Mike Fields, Special Agent in Charge of the Dallas Regional Office of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Office of Inspector General.
