Mauro's guest is Lucilia Ramos, Director at Massachusetts Senior Medicare Patrol Program, and Christina O’Neill, a volunteer with the program. They explain how the organization provides education and advocacy for Medicare beneficiaries to help them detect, prevent and report incidences of suspected Medicare errors, fraud and/or abuse. This can include phone calls to beneficiaries promising benefits in return for the beneficiaries’ personal information such as Social Security and Medicare numbers, which are then used to bill Medicare for unneeded supplies and services.
