Report Fraud
If you suspect errors, fraud or abuse, report it immediately! You
will protect other people from becoming victims and help to save your
Medicare benefits.
Here are the steps you should take to report your concerns and
abuse:
- If you have questions about information on your Medicare Summary
Notice or Part D Explanation of Benefits, call your provider or plan
first.
- If you are not comfortable calling your provider or plan or you are
not satisfied with the response you get, call your local
SMP.
SMPs help Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries:
- Identify and report deceptive health care practices, such as illegal
marketing, providing unnecessary or inappropriate services and charging
for services that were never provided.
- Refer complaints of potential fraud to the HHS Office of Inspector
General (OIG), Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), state
attorneys general, local law enforcement, state departments of insurance
and other outside organizations that can intervene. For more information
