Illinois Senior Medicare Patrol

Medicare & Medicaid · Illinois · Free

Illinois SMP — helps seniors detect and report Medicare fraud and errors. Built for older adults choosing between Parts A, B, C, and D — especially during the seven-month Initial Enrollment window. Most questions can be answered online or by phone; there's no eligibility screening to call. One of the most-used resources for older adults without family help navigating the system. Free service; donations support but never gate access.
