Advocates In Medicare Savings (AIM$)
Statewide, peer volunteers give public presentations or provide one to one
assistance to educate Medicare consumers in the areas of waste, fraud and abuse.
The volunteers use AIM$ tools to teach seniors how to understand their Medicare
Summary Notices and to compare them with other health care bills to determine if
the service was received, and that the dates of service match the beneficiaries
health journal log. This service is designed to curb the $11.6 billion dollars
lost in our country each year to waste, fraud and abuse.
If you or a family member see questionable charges from providers on your
Medicare Summary Notice, please call 1-800-551-3191 to reach an AIM$* volunteer
in your area. AIM$ volunteers are available for phone consultations or will come
to your home to assist you with your questions concerning questionable provider
charges to Medicare.
Contact The Area VI Agency on Aging for assistance.
