What is Wisconsin SMP?

Who We Are
Wisconsin SMP is a program of the Coalition of Wisconsin Aging Groups. Staffed by a project director, a volunteer coordinator and volunteers, Wisconsin SMP is one of the oldest federally funded “fraud buster” programs in the country. The project is dedicated to stopping healthcare fraud, waste and abuse.

What We Do

Medicare/Medicaid error, fraud, waste and abuse result in a loss of over $12 billion each year. The Medicare program is important and needs to be protected so the benefit will be available for future generations.
Wisconsin SMP provides training and information to Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries and the public on issues such as:

What is Medicare/Medicaid and who qualifies?
What benefits are available at what cost?
What is Medicare Part A, Part B, Part C and Part D?
What is healthcare fraud, waste and abuse? How does it affect benefits?
What can be done if there is over-billing on a Medicare statement?
How can others in your community be educated to understand and maximize their Medicare/Medicaid benefits?
Why is healthcare fraud, waste and abuse a concern?

Wisconsin SMP (Senior Medicare Patrol) empowers seniors to prevent health care fraud through outreach and education. We want this site to be your #1 resource for avoiding fraud and abuse in the health care system. Come back often for news and other information.
