Fraud Educational Workshop

Our MMAP program is very involved in educating the community on Medicare and Medicaid. Within our program, we also have Fraud specialists who are part of The Senior Medicare Patrol (SMP) program.

MMAP/SMP is hosting an educational workshop for management and service coordinators of senior housing in southeastern MI. This event will be held on January 22, 2013 at Laurel Manor in Livonia.

It is our goal to inform all senior housing management and service coordinators of the importance in protecting and educating our seniors on the potential of Fraud in the community. We have seen a drastic rise in Fraud coming from senior housing. By attending this educational event, you will learn of ways you can protect the seniors in your buildings.

We will begin the day with registration and a warm breakfast, followed by guest speakers from federal and local law enforcement agencies and Medicare providers. We are aware your time is very limited; however we do hope you will see the importance of attending this event, or sending a representative. For specific event details, please see the attached formal invitation.

CSI Liaison Satisfaction Survey

The survey that I have attached here is the survey that was just approved to send to all Liaisons with SC programs in their buildings.  We have also asked Sharon and Sheila to complete one as well for their larger view.  They have been emailed the survey this am to complete on each building and will return it to me completed by email or fax.  We indicated to them in a memo that this is something we do yearly and that their responses will be kept confidential.  Only myself, Rachel and Brenda will see the individual responses just so they feel free to share.  We will share back with all of you the aggregate responses which will also be shared with Anne and Sheila at CSI and with HUD.

Thanks so much for your participation in the quality assurance processes.  It really is a teamwork effort!

Please call or email if you have questions or ideas for improving the surveys for next year.  Cheryl
