Medicare Counseling

Do you need help navigating Medicare? 

Choosing the right insurance for your health and budget might seem overwhelming. KC Shepherd's Center's certified SHIP (Sate Health Insurance Program) counselors are here to guide you through the maze of decisions. Our trained Medicare volunteers offer unbiased and confidential assistance to Medicare beneficiaries and their care partners. Both in-person and phone appointments are available throughout the year at no charge.

Common services include: 

  • Help comparing and enrolling in prescription drug plans 
  • Assistance with applications for programs such as Extra Help or Medicare Savings 
  • Guidance to choose between Medicare Advantage or Original Medicare 
  • Filing appeals 
  • Information on Medigap

Not sure where to turn for accurate advice on Medicare matters? Call (816) 666-2625 to speak with a SHIP counselor at your convenience. 

 

Would you like to volunteer?

MO SHIP is always seeking caring resourceful advocates to join our dedicated team. SHIP counselors help older adults and individuals with disabilities to access the information and benefits they need. Medicare volunteers often set their own schedules and work from the comfort of home. No prior insurance experience is required.
