Medicare can be confusing. But United Way’s Area Agency on Aging is your Jefferson County connection to the State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP).
It’s important to choose the healthcare benefits that best fit your changing needs and budget. Our State-certified SHIP counselors help you make informed decisions so you’ll be more likely to have the healthcare coverage you really need at a price you can afford. We DO NOT sell insurance…we simply provide free, unbiased information to help you select the best options.
Medicare Open Enrollment is October 15th through December 7th. Whether you’re signing up for Medicare, making changes to your current coverage or just need to see if there are better options than what you already have, Open Enrollment is the only time of year to do that. And our team is ready to help.
