Senior Medicare Patrol
LifeStream works to educate seniors and other at-risk individuals against the dangers of becoming a victim of fraud or scams. As participants in Senior Medicare Patrol, LifeStream offers a hotline for the community to reach out if they believe they are a fraud victim, as well as education at community events and presentations. For questions about reporting fraud, contact our I&A team at 800-589-1121.
Join us in educating others about Senior Medicare Fraud. Volunteers join us at events, senior centers, or other locations where seniors gather to provide information on how to stay safe from fraud, scams, and abuse. Comprehensive online training is provided at your convenience. This opportunity provides a challenging and rewarding experience with flexible hours.
