Get Your Medicare Right

Medicare Open Enrollment Is October 15th to December 7th.

The State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP), a service of United Way’s Area Agency on Aging, is dedicated to helping you find the best coverage to fit your needs. SHIP provides free, unbiased Medicare counseling. We do not sell insurance; we only provide information you can use to make your healthcare dollars work harder!

We offer three easy ways to get free, unbiased advice:

  1. Click here to find our Medicare Plan Comparison form.

    You can follow the instructions on the form to send your information by email or mail.

  2. Call 1-800-AGE-LINE.

    Speak to a representative to schedule an appointment by phone, or in person at our office, to review your needs and best options.
