Medicare insurance is an investment in your health. The Senior Health Insurance Information Program provides unbiased advice on the best Medicare plans for your unique needs. Senior Medicare Patrol (SMP), like SHIIP, falls under the Iowa Insurance Division and helps Iowans spot and report Medicare scams.

It is important to be aware of the most common scams Iowans are facing and report Medicare fraud.

Common Consumer Scams

Investment and insurance scams aren’t the only things an Iowa Fraud Fighter needs to guard against. Be prepared to prevent and report consumer fraud. The Iowa Attorney General's Office (AG) is your resource to report common scams impacting consumers.

The AG’s mantra is: Stop, Think and Call. Don’t make quick decisions based on emotions. Ask for the offer in writing and sleep on it. Think it over and talk it over with someone you trust.

Call the Iowa Attorney General’s Office to help you investigate if the offer is legitimate or if it is a common scam. Fraudsters will have a harder time conning you out of your money if you proactively research common consumer scams in your area.
