Protect Yourself Against Medicare Fraud
TheDelaware Senior Medicare Patrol Program, housed in the Delaware Department of Health and Social Services (DHSS) Division of Services for Aging and Adults with Physical Disabilities (DSAAPD) provides public information to encourage Medicare beneficiaries to carefully read their Medicare summary notices and ask questions if they do not think the information is correct.
