During this time of crisis, the Illinois Senior Medicare Patrol is still devoted to giving our beneficiaries, partners, friends and family the most up to date information regarding the current Medicare Scams across the United States of America.
With many people working from home and practicing social distancing, therefore not being able to attend our outreach events in person, we wanted to create an innovative way to reach our communities.
While we will continue to send our bi weekly fraud alerts, we will now be offering a brand new
FREE webinar series that will take place every Thursday from 1:00 until 1:30 PM CT with a 30 minute Q & A to follow each presentation. This is a four part series that will cover many current topics and how to Prevent, Detect, and Report any Medicare Fraud.
We encourage everyone to sign up for all 4 webinars and share with anyone you know that would benefit from this important information! Below are registration links, dates, and descriptions to all 4 of the webinars.
We hope you join us every Thursday for the next month! Stay Safe!
