Pro Seniors - Ohio Senior Medicare Patrol

  • Older Adults

Who We Are

Pro Seniors’ mission is to enhance the independence and quality of life of older adults by empowering them, by protecting their interests and by facilitating their access to resources.

What We Do

We at SMP empower and assist Medicare beneficiaries, their families, and caregivers to prevent, detect, and report health care fraud, errors, and abuse through outreach, counseling, and education. This project is supported by a federal grant from the U. S. Administration for Community Living, Department of Health and Human Services. We are a volunteer based, statewide project. SMP’s team of volunteer peer educators help seniors prevent, detect and report health care fraud, errors and abuse. At the heart of Ohio Senior Medicare Patrol (SMP) are volunteers/peer educators who educate groups of older Americans about illegitimate Medicare practices by presenting information to groups or by distributing literature at senior/health fairs.
