Did you know that billing errors could cost you money or leave you vulnerable to fraud? Spotting billing errors is an important way to protect your Medicare benefits. Review your Medicare Summary Notices and Explanation of Benefits statements for charges you don’t recognize, services you didn’t receive, or duplicate charges.

If something doesn’t look right, contact your provider or the Senior Medicare Patrol (SMP) for help. Together, we can prevent fraud, errors, and abuse in Medicare.
