🧐 Did you know Medicare fraud costs an estimated $60–80 billion every year?
That's not just a number. It's stolen care. Stolen identities. Stolen peace of mind. And it's happening right here in California — every single day.

Medicare Fraud Prevention Week is June 1–5 - coming up next week! And California SMP is here to empower people to prevent, detect and report fraud!

This year, California SMP has been at the center of the national conversation on Medicare fraud:
🏛️ One of our own clients testified before Congress about being fraudulently enrolled in hospice
📰 We've been quoted in the NY Times, NPR, CalMatters and more
🔍 We've helped thousands of California seniors recover from multiple types of Medicare fraud, including hospice fraud — restoring their coverage and their peace of mind

Here's some Good News on how YOU can be part of the solution:
✅ Check your Medicare claims at Medicare.gov — don't wait for the mail
✅ Guard your Medicare number like your Social Security number
✅ Watch for unsolicited medical equipment, fake genetic testing offers, and hospice fraud
✅ Share SMP resources with someone you love
✅ Call us with any concerns and to report Medicare fraud: 1-855-613-7080

And don't miss our FREE webinar on June 3:
📣 "Medicare Fraud in California: What Scams Are 'Hot' & How You Can Prevent Fraud"
📅 June 3 | 10am PT | Free & Open to All
