Medicare Fraud Prevention Week runs through Sunday, June 8<\/strong>, with a focus on raising awareness of the actions everyone can take to prevent Medicare fraud, errors, and abuse. Everyone plays a part in the fight against fraud.<\/p>
Ways to prevent Medicare fraud include:<\/p>
Medicare beneficiaries<\/strong> can monitor their insurance statements to make sure products and services received match what is on the statements. They can request free My Health Care Trackers from their local Senior Medicare Patrol (SMP).<\/li>
Caregivers<\/strong> can help by being on the lookout for items such as durable medical equipment (like boxes of knee braces) lying around the house that may have been shipped to the beneficiary without their or their doctor\u2019s approval. They can remind their client or loved one to never give out their Medicare number or other personal information over the phone.<\/li>
Families<\/strong> can help by talking to their loved ones about protecting their Medicare number just as they would a credit card number. They can help their loved ones create a Medicare.gov account to access their Medicare statements online or remind them to open and review them when they come in the mail.<\/li>
Partners and professionals<\/strong> can help by sharing SMP information on social media, referring clients and consumers to the SMP, and inviting the SMP to speak during a shared event.<\/li>
Health care providers<\/strong> can help by talking to patients about health care-related scams, such as those related to durable medical equipment and genetic testing schemes. They can remind them that products and services should only be ordered by physicians they regularly see. Needed medical items should never be ordered through TV ads or unsolicited calls.<\/li>
Community members<\/strong> can help by looking out for older neighbors. When in public, they can be aware of older individuals purchasing gift cards in large amounts. They can encourage those they know to talk to a trusted source about their Medicare questions and tell neighbors about the most recent Medicare scams.<\/li><\/ul>Additionally, SMP\u2019s new mobile app, \u201c SMP Medicare Tracker<\/u><\/strong><\/a>\u201d, educates users about fraud trends and scams through games and news, and includes a digital appointment tracker.<\/p>

The Center for Medicare Advocacy will hold a webinar on Medicare appeals resulting from the Center\u2019s class action on behalf of beneficiaries harmed by \u201cobservation status.\u201d The appeals will allow certain hospital patients who are reclassified from inpatient to observation to appeal their status and potentially gain Medicare coverage of skilled nursing facility services that they otherwise would have to forgo or pay for out of pocket. The webinar will review the basics of both types of new appeals (retrospective and prospective), who can appeal, and steps that people who think they are class members can take. It will also provide any updates or insights we have learned since the \u201cretrospective\u201d appeals became operational on January 1, 2025.<\/p>

An overpayment of Social Security (Title II) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI, or Title XVI) benefits occurs whenever an individual receives more money for a month than the amount that should have been paid by the Social Security Administration (SSA). Those who receive a notice from SSA that they have been overpaid are often alarmed and confused and have a lot of concerns about how repayment will affect their ability to pay for their ordinary living expenses. In 2024, SSA made major changes to its policies on overpayments. This training will review the recent changes SSA has made to various overpayment policies, with a particular focus on the waiver application process. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Justice in Aging will hold a webinar on Justice in Aging\u2019s <\/span>Equitable Guardianship Reform issue brief series<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/u> and analyze how ongoing reform efforts can be refocused to center equity and build better systems for everyone. Older adults who are members of marginalized communities may well be at increased risk of disability and guardianship due to a lifetime of discriminatory bias. The session will examine how the guardianship system, and the ongoing reform efforts within that system, might better address the needs of marginalized older adults. It will provide participants with clear recommendations they can then use to advocate for equitable change within their own state guardianship systems.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n

The American Society on Aging is facilitating a workshop on intergenerational conversations on ageism. The workshop will include conversations on how to bring people together, how to facilitate intergenerational conversations, mistakes to avoid, how to apply the principles of facilitating intergenerational conversations about ageism, how to maintain momentum and connections beyond the initial conversation, and how to recognize your own ageist beliefs and to demonstrate non-ageist communications and behaviors with older adults. This workshop welcomes participants seeking to improve relationships between multigenerational workforces, people who work in higher education spaces who seek integrating intergenerational conversations, and people who operate programs that serve older adults. <\/p>\n\n
