On the next AGING MATTERS podcast, host Cheryl Beversdorf talks with Shawn Smith, Director, Virginia Senior Medicare Patrol (SMP), https://virginiasmp.com/, about the difference between Medicare fraud, abuse and billing errors, and the work of SMPs, https://smpresource.org/, to help beneficiaries handle complaints related to these practices. This broadcast will be posted after 3 pm on Tuesday, June 17 on Apple Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/aging-matters/id1526204286, Spotify Podcast - https://open.spotify.com/show/0HvZeXmoVAmtXmbQwBJVvM, RedCircle, https://redcircle.com/show/89c0483f-e683-4667-8550-8fc560f85e1b, and Mixcloud – https://mixcloud.com/AgingMatters/.
