Taking Control of Your Medicare – There’s an App for That!
The Missouri SMP has exciting news to share, and it could make managing your Medicare even easier
while helping protect you from fraud. It’s called the “SMP Medicare Tracker”. It’s a free app you can
download right to your smartphone. With this easy-to-use tool, you’ll be able to keep track of your
medical visits, monitor your Medicare information, and report suspicious activity…all from the palm of
your hand!

Think of it as a digital version of the “My Health Care Tracker”, but with added features designed to make fraud prevention more interactive and fun.


What’s Inside the App?

Fraud Report Form – If something doesn’t look right, you can send a report straight to the Missouri SMP.

SMP Fraud Busters Game – Test your fraud-spotting skills and learn how to avoid scams in common everyday situations.

Educational Videos – Short, easy to understand videos walk you through tips on how to recognize and prevent fraud.

Word Games and Puzzles – Learning about fraud prevention doesn’t have to be boring! These features keep it fun and engaging.

Scam Alerts & Tips – Get practical advice on how to avoid common tricks, like fake phone calls, phishing emails, or offers for medical supplies you don’t need.

Whether you’re keeping track of your own care or helping a loved one, this app puts helpful tools and fraud protection right at your fingertips.

Best of all, it’s completely free to download. Just open your phone’s app store and search for “SMP Medicare Tracker.” If you’re not sure how to get started or uncomfortable downloading apps, ask a trusted family member, friend, or call the Missouri SMP for help.

This summer, take a small step to feel more confident, informed, and protected. With the SMP Medicare Tracker app, you’re not just staying organized — you’re staying one step ahead.

The Missouri SMP is here to provide you with information you need to protect, detect, and report potential Medicare fraud, errors, and abuse. If you think you or a loved one has been a target of a Medicare scam, call the Missouri SMP at 888-515-6565.

    Watchout for mailings/interenet/emails offering great deals for Medicare, even Medicaid. The look may look valid, showing or saying Missouri. Beware. Contact valid offices or Aging Ahead if you have questions:)
