Thanks to Cresco Bank & Trust Co. for all of their efforts to publize and host Fraud Fighters yesterday in partnership with Howard County Sheriff's Office , Cresco Police Department , and Johnson Computers & TV. It takes a village to fight fraud and we have a great one! We would love to bring this program out to more groups. Contact Northeast Iowa RSVP at 563-277-5181 to schedule your Fraud Fighter event.

Here is another "too good to be true" scam.

Have you gotten a call saying you can get free food if you just give them your Medicare number? Unfortunately, this is a scam. If you have given your Medicare number over the phone, please report it to the SMP. You can call 877-808-2468 or fill out a form at smpresource.org/reportfraud.

Don't let them fool you! Always check everything out. Call law enforcement, your bank, a friend or family member, or the Iowa Fraud Fighters to check. A gift card won't get you out of a warrant for your arrest, or secure the winnings of some sort of lottery or fancy car, or anything else that seems to good to be true. The IRS doesn't call you and asking you to keep something a secret is a huge red flag!

Please review your Medicare statements and be aware of false charges. Contact Northeast Iowa RSVP if you would like a Fraud Fighter presentation to learn more.

While prevention is so important in the fight against Medicare fraud, prevention alone cannot stop all fraud. Finding or detecting issues and reporting them helps to stop bad actors.

Keep a record of the health care services you receive in a My Health Care Tracker from the SMP or through the free SMP Medicare Tracker app. Then compare that to what is billed on your Medicare statements. If things don't seem right, report it right away.

If you have questions about detecting fraud, errors, or abuse, contact your local .

To celebrate 📚 , we wanted to post a picture from our Reading Buddies at Crestwood! Do you love to read? We would love to have you join our crew over in Cresco, or you can join our new program Book Buddies and read books to preschools and Head Start programs around you! Please let the RSVP office know if this is something you would like to join in on. We would love to have you.
