Responding to Reported Medicare Fraud, Waste & Abuse

If you find a claim or charge on your Medicare statement for something you did not receive, this could be a sign of an error, waste, potential fraud or billing abuse.  If you call your provider and are not able to resolve this directly, contact Ohio Senior Medicare Patrol.  When you call, Ohio SMP staff will discuss the details of your complaint.  Based on the information you provide about your situation, the SMP staff will determine if our role allows us to work with you to effectively resolve the issue or if your situation should be referred to other agencies for further help or investigation.

Are you concerned about something suspicious on your Medicare statement?  Have a question about protecting your Medicare number?  Use our online form to contact Ohio SMP, or call 513-458-5523 or 800-488-6070, option 4.
