Senior Health Insurance Assistance Program

 

The Senior Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP) meets one of the most
universal needs of Medicare beneficiaries , including those under 65 years
of age - understanding their health insurance benefits, bills and rights.
The Maryland SHIP program provides trained staff and volunteer counselors in
all 24 counties. Counselors provide in-person and telephone assistance in
the following general areas:

Medicare Prescription Drug Coverage Program (Medicare Part D) 

Medicare supplements (Medigap Plans) 

Assistance for disabled Medicare beneficiaries (under age 65) 

Medicare Advantage Plans (HMOs, preferred provider organizations) 

Long Term Care Insurance 

Medical Assistance programs 

Assistance for low-income beneficiaries 

Assistance with denials, appeals and grievances 

Billing problems 

Health care fraud and abuse 

Volunteer counselor opportunities 

Free community presentations and much, much more! 

 

The Maryland Department of Aging receives funding for this program from the
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, the State of Maryland and local
governments. SHIP counseling services are confidential and free of charge.

 

 

 

Medicare Open Enrollment is October 15 - December 7 2012

Open Enrollment is the one time of year when ALL people with Medicare can
see what new benefits Medicare has to offer and make changes to their
coverage if it saves them money. It's worth it to take the time to review
and compare, but you don't have to do it alone. Call the Maryland Department
of Aging at 410-767-1100 or 1-800-243-3425 to get the telephone number of
your Senior Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP) in your county.
