Welcome to Iowa SMP. Here we believe in the power of one. The power that one person has to help stop Medicare mispayments. People like Barbra Whitney who helped Iowa replace $1.2 million to Medicare.
The United States General Accounting Office estimates that $1 out of every $7 spent on Medicare is paid inappropriately due to error, fraud, or abuse. Last year alone, Medicare lost nearly $16 billion to improper claims.
Since the inception of SMP in 1997, $105 million has been saved for Medicare, Medicaid and other healthcare payors, due to the efforts of the SMP program.
