Administration for Community Living

Description

The mission of the Administration for Community Living"s (ACL) Senior Medicare Patrol (SMP) program is to empower and assist Medicare beneficiaries, their families, and caregivers to prevent, detect, and report health care fraud, errors, and abuse through outreach, counseling, and education. The SMP program seeks to empower beneficiaries through increased awareness and understanding of health care programs to protect them from the economic and health-related consequences associated with Medicare fraud, errors, and abuse. ACL provides grant funding to support 54 SMP state-based projects, including grantees in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, and Guam. With this funding opportunity, ACL is seeking applicants for a single cooperative agreement to operate the Senior Medicare Patrol Resource Center (SMPRC). The SMPRC will provide training, technical assistance, and promotional activities to support the SMP program and its 54 projects nationwide.
