BACKGROUND:

California Health Advocates will provide funding to Employment and Human Services, Aging and Adult Services Bureau, Health Insurance Counseling and Advocacy Program (HICAP) for the Senior Medicare Patrol volunteer liaison who will focus on outreach and education to support the prevention of Medicare fraud and abuse. The funding will be used to support the liaison’s activities, which may include data collection, monitoring and reporting customer inquiries, volunteer recruitment, training and support, community education, and fraud prevention activities.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Without funding, Medicare fraud liaison activities would not be supported through HICAP.
