SMP Volunteers needed!
ORGANIZATION: Area Agency on Aging of North Idaho
Please visit the new page to apply.
The scope of work for the Idaho SMP consists of three main areas:
- Conducting outreach and education: the SMP team gives presentations to groups, exhibit at events, and work one-on-one with Medicare beneficiaries.
- Engage volunteers: Protecting older persons’ health, finances, and medical identity while saving precious Medicare dollars is a cause that attracts civic-minded Americans.
- Receive beneficiary complaints: When Medicare beneficiaries, caregivers, and family members bring their complaints to the SMP, the SMP makes a determination about whether or not fraud, errors, or abuse is suspected. When fraud or abuse is suspected, they make referrals to the appropriate state and federal agencies for further investigation.
As an SMP team member, you will be a part of a nationwide initiative that is fighting Medicare fraud and saving beneficiaries countless amounts of dollars and emotional distress.
