Medicare Help is Available

Navigating Medicare can be confusing, but free help is available through the State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP). SHIP provides unbiased, confidential counseling to Medicare beneficiaries, their families, and caregivers. Trained counselors can answer questions about Medicare enrollment, compare coverage options, and explain benefits to help individuals make informed healthcare decisions.

If you have questions about Medicare, SHIP is a trusted resource available to help you understand your options.
