About Us
We are funded through two programs of the federal Administration for Community Living: State Health Insurance Assistance Programs (SHIP) and Senior Medicare Patrol (SMP).
SHIP funds personalized counseling, education and outreach to Medicare beneficiaries and their families. This helps people better understand and use their Medicare benefits.
SMP funds education for Medicare beneficiaries and others on how to spot and report potential Medicare errors, fraud, waste and abuse.
