National Center on Law & Elder Rights: Financial Exploitation and Medicare Fraud

Financial Exploitation and Medicare Fraud

When: Wednesday, July 18th at 11:00 a.m. PT / 2:00 p.m. ET

Medicare fraud hurts individuals and is harmful to the Medicare Trust Fund. The Medicare Trust fund loses between $60 and $90 billion dollars every year to fraud, waste and abuse. Individuals can lose access to Medicare services because their identity has been misappropriated by someone else. Law and aging advocates play an important role in helping older adults prevent, detect, and report Medicare fraud and abuse.

In this free webcast, Financial Exploitation and Medicare Fraud, California’s Senior Medicare Patrol will teach advocates how to identify potential Medicare scams and report fraud and abuse to the Senior Medicare Patrol. Justice in Aging will highlight potential exploitive Medicare practices and outlines strategies to help prevent exploitation.  

Closed captioning will be available on this webcast. A link with access to the captions will be shared through GoToWebinar’s chat box shortly before the webcast start time.

Presenters:

• Georgia Burke, Directing Attorney, Justice in Aging
• Micki Nozaki, Director, Senior Medicare Patrol, California Health Advocates
