Volunteering with the Illinois
Senior Medicare Patrol (SMP) Program
Volunteers with the Illinois Senior Medicare Patrol (SMP) Program are working to ensure fewer people in Illinois become victims of health care fraud. With training and support from the Illinois SMP Program and its partners, SMP volunteers provide outreach and education in their communities.
By giving presentations to groups, hosting exhibits at community events, and providing one-on-one counseling, volunteers help spread the message of Protect, Detect, and Report to every part of the state of Illinois.
Call the Illinois SMP Volunteer Specialist at AgeOptions at (800)699-9043 for more information about how you can get involved in your community.
