Montana SMP volunteer achieves national recognition
Winnie Greenshields, Flathead County SMP (Senior Medicare Patrol) Coordinator, has been selected to be recognized at the SMP National Conference in Washington, D.C. this August. She is one of only 10 SMP volunteers nationwide to receive this honor.
After retiring in 2009 from the health insurance industry, Greenshields wanted to do something with her health insurance knowledge. She approached the Area IX Agency on Aging in Kalispell to see if they could use her expertise. Area IX is a partner in the Montana SMP program administered across the state through Missoula Aging Services. Her knowledge and experience were well-suited to help inform and educate seniors about Medicare fraud and how to help prevent it. Among other things, Greenshields has created a three-week seminar to help older adults really understand Medicare.
