The OIG has released its "Performance Data for the Senior Medicare Patrol Projects: May 2010 Performance Report." The Senior Medicare Patrol Projects receive grants from Administration on Aging to recruit retired professionals to serve as educators and resources in helping beneficiaries to detect and report Medicare fraud, waste, and abuse. In 2009, the 55 projects had a total of 4,444 active volunteers, and Medicare funds recovered attributable to the projects were $76,176 (although the OIG notes that the impact on fraud cannot be fully tracked, so the projects may not be receiving full credit for associated savings).
