"Volunteering for Ohio SMP makes me feel like one of the good guys" acknowledges Brian Rhame, Procter and Gamble retiree.
Ohio SMP (Senior Medicare Patrol) volunteer peer educators are the pillar of our project. They teach older Ohioans how to stay safe from healthcare fraud by providing critical information through presentations, and distributing literature at events attended by seniors. Tips to avoid scams, keeping track of medical information, and what to do if you suspect you're a victim of healthcare fraud are among the topics shared.
In addition to feeling "like one of the good guys", benefits of being a peer educator include mileage and expense reimbursement; free online training; flexible schedule that meets your personal needs; continuing up-to-date training on healthcare scams and other significant topics; and minimal easy-to-complete paperwork.
Ohio SMP is a project of Pro Seniors, a non-profit organization providing free legal and long-term care assistance to older adults.
Ohio SMP is supported by Grant #90MPPG0005-01-00 from the Administration for Community Living (ACL).
