Medicare Counseling

The Medicare Program at SMAA helps beneficiaries navigate the world of healthcare! Our knowledgeable team of volunteers are SHIP certified (State Health Insurance Assistance Program) to meet with people one-on-one and provide unbiased support and guidance through the complicated web of plans and coverage. While this program serves Medicare beneficiaries year-round, a bulk of appointments take place during Medicare Open Enrollment Period, from October 15 - December 7.

Our 2025 Volunteer of the Year, Herb Jannick, talks here about his involvement in the Medicare SHIP program and the immense savings he's seen as a result of counseling sessions.
