View Award Description

SMP OF NEW JERSEY - THE SENIOR MEDICARE PATROL OF NEW JERSEY EDUCATES SENIORS TO PREVENT THEIR BECOMING VICTIMS OF FRAUD - Jewish Family and Vocational Service of Middlesex County (JFVS) will administer the New Jersey Senior Medicare Patrol project (JFVS-SMP) designed to improve the quality of health care for seniors in New Jersey by educating them about Medicare and Medicaid fraud. The goal of the project is to provide information so that seniors, including certain targeted populations, can take the appropriate steps to protect themselves from becoming victims of fraud, waste and abuse in Medicare and Medicaid. The objectives are: 1) to utilize staff and volunteers in order to reach as many seniors in the State of New Jersey as possible; 2) to partner with the aging services network in New Jersey to promote awareness of Medicare and Medicaid fraud; to 3) develop and disseminate consumer educational materials to prevent Medicare and Medicaid fraud; 4) to provide counseling and to serve as consumer advocate in resolving billing disputes and errors; and 5) to receive and resolve complaints and to make referrals to appropriate agencies of suspected fraud, waste and abuse. The anticipated outcomes are: 1) seniors in New Jersey will become aware of the extent of fraud in the Medicare and Medicaid programs; 2) seniors will review their Medicare Summary Notices and will keep personal health care journals to ensure that they are receiving the services for which Medicare is paying; 3) seniors will take the necessary steps to call their providers to correct any billing disputes and errors; and 4) seniors will report suspected cases of fraud to JFVS-SMP and to other agencies. The expected products from this project are: semiannual and final reports, press releases and articles for publication, television and radio interviews, public service announcements, personal health care journals, brochures, flyers and tip sheets.
