Abstract: This data collection is required by Congress for program monitoring and Government Performance Results Act (GPRA) purposes. This is the only data collection requested of the SMP Programs which is used by Congress and the media for reporting SMP activities. There are 54 programs in all 50 states, including the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands. It is imperative that data be collected to ensure that volunteers' contacts are giving Medicare beneficiaries the tools to prevent, detect and report health care fraud, error and abuse. The respondents are grantees and volunteers who meet with Medicare beneficiaries in group settings and in one-on-one sessions to educate them on the importance of being aware of fraud, error and abuse, and having the knowledge to protect the Medicare system.
