Denver Senior News & Events - Click Here Denver, Northern Colorado & Pueblo, ColoradoFind Presentations on How to Prevent Medicare FraudDo you know what Medicare fraud looks like? It can be that flyer in the mail offering a free medical device, if you'll just give the company your Medicare number and doctor's name. But giving your number to an unauthorized supplier can lead to identity theft or result in denial of future Medicare claims. Learn about Medicare fraud at free meetings from The Senior Medicare Patrol (SMP). The program's purpose is to educate older adults receiving Medicare and Medicaid benefits to prevent, detect, and report health care fraud.
