CMS Expands Senior Medicare Patrol

Since 1997, CMS has been training seniors, caregivers and beneficiary family members to review Medicare notices and Medicaid claims for any signs of fraudulent activity as well as telling them what to do if they identify suspicious activity. Now they're offering an additional $9 million in grants to organizations in order to expand the program.
