Medicare Fraud Prevention Week 2026!

Medicare Fraud Prevention Week focuses on the actions everyone can take to prevent Medicare fraud, errors, and abuse. Medicare Fraud Prevention Week runs the week of June 5, or 6/5, because most people become eligible for Medicare when they turn 65.

Medicare Fraud Prevention Week is hosted by the Administration for Community Living and the Senior Medicare Patrol, known as the SMP. The SMP is a national program to educate Medicare beneficiaries about Medicare fraud, errors, and abuse.

Learning how to prevent, detect, and report Medicare fraud and then sharing what you learn with others is how Medicare beneficiaries, caregivers, family members, partners, health care professionals, and the whole community can participate in this week.
