 Fraud Protection

Older adults who receive and rely on Medicare/Medicaid are often the unwitting recipients of some of the most vicious and damaging schemes perpetrated by fraudsters. With COVID-19-related Medicare fraud on the rise, Village Movement California is pleased to partner with The 5 Senior Medicare Patrol (SMP) to help village members learn about healthcare fraud and how to protect themselves. Read about this service here. https://www.villageofthecoastside.org/seniormedicarepatrol
