Medicare Fraud

Posted: April 21, 2016, 4:46PM

We are having a free program that is open to the public on April 28 at First Christian Church (1343 National Road, Wheeling) from 1 pm - 2:30 pm. RESERVATIONS ARE REQUIRED FOR THIS PROGRAM! Our speaker is Marcia Meeks, State Health Insurance Information Program Director for West Virginia and Director of the Medicare Fraud Patrol.

Can this happen to you? Oh yes! I spoke with a caller about a week ago who had equipment and oxygen on her Medicare Summary Notice but she had received neither. Medicare fraud can happen to any Medicare beneficiary,and exists when Medicare is billed for services or equipment that was not provided to that beneficiary. Someone may be using your Medicare number to get supplies or equipment. A company may use false information to mislead you into joining a Medicare plan. You are the first line of defense against Medicare fraud!

Join us on April 28 to learn about this crime. Medicare fraud results in higher health care costs and taxes, and wastes a lot of money every year. Learn about Medicare fraud at this free program!
