Every day many more scams get reported. Once one becomes a victim the money is usually gone for good. They are very smart about finding ways to prevent recouping lost money. The Oakland County Health Division is warning the community of a phone scam targeting older adults via a caller impersonating Oakland County Health Division employees. In these calls they are requesting a social security number and Medicare numbers for supposed billing, a Medicare breach, or to determine if the target is eligible for a knee brace. Oakland County wants to get the word out that they do not contact residents to request personal or protected information over the phone.
Elder abuse and exploitation is at an all time high. Daily we see reports and news about horrific physical abuse and neglect as well as scam artists stealing millions of dollars from unsuspecting seniors. Sadly many of the perpetrators are family members or other persons of trust.
This month we have a special guest columnist, Lyndsey Malkovich, a student intern from Oakland University’s Wellness, Health Promotion & Injury Prevention program.
Why should providers care about rural health care? Critics argue that rural areas are less marketable. They are less populated, span a larger geographic area, lack public transportation, and struggle to attract new physician and nurse talent. To sum it up, rural areas require more effort to reach fewer people and are therefore less profitable for health systems.
