While prevention is so important in the fight against Medicare fraud, prevention alone cannot stop all fraud, errors, and abuse. Detect potential problems by taking the following steps:
📲
Keep records of health care visits, services or equipment received, test results, etc., using the printed My Health Care Tracker or the SMP Medicare Tracker mobile app from the SMP.
🗃File copies of bills received from your doctor, hospital, pharmacist, supplier, or other health care provider.
📓Save your Medicare Summary Notices (MSNs) and Explanations of Benefits (EOBs) and review them for accuracy.
📅Compare the dates, providers, and services received shown on MSNs and EOBs to what is documented in your personal health care records.
⚠️Beware of charges for services not received, duplicate charges, or services that were not ordered by your doctor.

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