In a U.S. House of Representatives Hearing on Medicaid Fraud last week, the sub-committee heard from a victim of fraud who spent 7 years in a lawsuit against Maxim Healthcare. This man specifically mentions calling the Senior Medicare Patrol (SMP) fraud hot line in New Jersey. Although he eventually hired a private attorney, he and the attorney both acknowledge the good work of SMPs.
The hearing is worth watching and is a good reminder of why SMPs across the country, including our strong California team of staff and volunteers, do what we do!
Here’s the Hearing: House Panel Hearing From Victim of Medicaid Fraud.
