Article Highlights “Free” Medical Device Scams

Anne Fredrickson, the Ohio SMP program manager, is quoted in a Columbus Dispatch article titled, “Scammers trick seniors with ‘free’ medical devices, then bill Medicare.”  Read the article here.

In the article, writer JoAnne Viviano shows how seniors end up with medically unnecessary equipment.  If you have received packages with medical equipment, i.e. a knee brace, that you did not order, please contact Ohio SMP at 513-345-4160 or 1-800-488-6070.
