The Illinois SMP Toolkit is a revised and expanded version of earlier toolkits produced by Alabama and other states. We revised the "questions to ask" sheet about Medicare Advantage plans to be used with any private insurance (MA, PDP, Medigap), and we added several pages on Medicare Basics and fraud issues. The contents of this toolkit include: fraud stories and tips on how to protect, detect report; basic information on Medicare Parts A, B, and D, Medigap, and Medicare Advantage; a question/answer sheet for considering private plans; information about assistance programs; and consumer fraud resources.
