Sen. Grassley today announced that the Department of Health and Human Services has granted $281,045 to the State of Iowa for the Senior Medicare Waste Patrol.
"Every dollar wasted in the Medicare program is one less dollar for people who rely on Medicare benefits," said Grassley. "This watchdog program is vital to keeping Medicare funds in the hands of those who need it most."
Funds will support the promotion of the Regional Fraud Concerns Hotline. The statewide hotline (1-800-432-2449) is available to Iowans who suspect Medicare fraud.
