Eligibility

Assistance is provided to the general public who calls the Toll-Free Statewide number: 1-877-801-0044.  To speak directly with a SHIP Counselor you may call 844-887-7447.

Explanation of Services

SHIP is a statewide program operating through the state’s nine Area Agencies on Aging & Disability (AAADs). By calling the toll-free number, callers can talk to a SHIP counselor closest to the area in which the caller lives. Counselors work to give accurate and helpful information regarding Medicare and other related health insurances. In the event the counselors are unable to solve a problem, the caller is provided with referral to other resources.
