Events › Medicare Fraud Prevention with SHIBA

Medicare fraud costs roughly $60 billion a year, raising the cost of healthcare for everyone and making it harder to access the care you need. Our Statewide Health Insurance Benefits Advisor (SHIBA) volunteers and the Senior Medicare Patrol (SMP) help Medicare beneficiaries, their families and caregivers to prevent, detect and report Medicare fraud. Come and learn how you can protect yourself and your family members!
