Fraud and Abuse and Errors, Oh My! 

 


It’s one of those ubiquitous 2:00 a.m. TV advertisements for knee braces. The announcer says they’ll do all the work and even bill Medicare for you, worry-free. But before you hit that “place in cart” button, think twice, and remember: never give your Medicare number to anyone other than your healthcare provider. 


The 2:00 a.m. knee brace scenario has the potential for being a set-up for Medicare fraud. Medicare, and Medicare beneficiaries, are seeing upwards of $80 billion dollars lost annually to Medicare fraud and abuse. The knee brace supplier in the TV ad may contribute to this fraud by sending a sub-standard piece of equipment, meanwhile charging Medicare for a higher-end product. The company may continue to send the inferior equipment long after you require it, billing Medicare every time.


Senior Medicare Patrols (SMPs), through community outreach, pursue their mission to educate Medicare beneficiaries, families, and caregivers on protecting, detecting, and reporting potential or suspected Medicare fraud, errors, and abuse. SMP staff provide one-on-one consultations, and group and community outreach and presentations. 


To set up a 30-minute presentation or learn more, or to volunteer with Delaware’s Senior Medicare Patrol, call Mary Anne Bonafair, SMP Outreach and Education Coordinator, at 302-424-8657, or email her at: MaryAnne.Bonafair@delaware.gov. ▼
