People over the age of 60 are often the target of different forms of scams and fraud. Many caregivers do not know where to begin their education on the current frauds and how to protect themselves. Some of the scams and frauds include Medicare fraud and scams, home health care fraud, medical identity theft and more. Join the Agency to learn about different fraud and what to do to protect yourself and/or your loved ones.

This workshop will be presented by The Ohio Senior Medicare Patrol from ProSeniors. They are a grant-funded organization whose mission is to empower and assist Medicare beneficiaries, their families and caregivers to prevent, detect and report health care fraud, errors and abuses.

This is a small-group discussion and the number of caregiver participants is limited. Not familiar with Zoom? Join a brief orientation session at 10:30 a.m. before the presentation begins.
