National Hispanic Senior Medicare Patrol
The overall NHSPM goals for the cooperative agreement will be to:
(1) enhance the skills, knowledge, and capacity of the SMP network to enable SMP projects to:
effectively reach Hispanic older adults with the message of health care fraud prevention, identification and reporting; and respond
to complaints from Hispanic older adults, their families and caregivers, of potential Medicare and other health care fraud identified as a results of this increased awareness; (2) provide in-depth research-based, tailored technical assistance to selected regional SMPs with high Hispanic populations, especially Hispanic older adults; (3) develop innovative outreach strategies and approaches designed to enhance awareness of Hispanic older adults, their families and caregivers about Medicare fraud; and (4) conduct direct outreach and education in selected high Hispanic population area(s), utilizing the outreach activities to test and refine the outreach strategies developed.
