State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP)

What is SHIP?

SHIP is your trusted source for information about Medicare, related health insurance, and low-income resources.

SHIP counselors and volunteers can help Medicare beneficiaries make informed choices by providing information on benefits and resources at hand.

Counselors and volunteers are not associated with any insurance company and will not attempt to sell you insurance.
