Senior Medicare Patrol (SMP)

Medicare & Medicaid · Washington · Free

Empowers seniors to detect, prevent, and report Medicare fraud. Free help in every state. Most relevant for low-income seniors who may qualify for Extra Help, QMB, SLMB, or QI without realizing it. Drop-in help is available at most local offices; bringing the Medicare card and a list of prescriptions makes the visit faster. One of the most-used resources for older adults without family help navigating the system. All services free of charge to qualifying seniors and family caregivers.
