Alabama - Medicare Protection Toolkits

Medicare Protection Toolkits

Staff from the Alabama SHIP have been quite busy this year developing a new tool to distribute to Medicare beneficiaries across Alabama to make informed decisions and to help prevent fraud and abuse. The Medicare Protection Toolkits are a joint effort of the Alabama Department of Senior Services' (ADSS) Healthcare Fraud Advocacy and Outreach Council and the Alabama Association for Justice.

Each Medicare Protection Toolkit contains:

Questions for seniors to ask salespeople
Facts on healthcare benefits options
Things to look for when considering a healthcare plan
Four steps seniors can take to safeguard their Medicare

The Toolkit is available for download from the ADSS website at http://www.AlabamaAgeline.gov. Please contact the Alabama SHIP Coordinator and Senior Medicare Patrol Director, Robyn James, at Robyn.James@adss.alabama.gov with questions about this toolkit.
