State Health Insurance Assistance Program

 
The SHIP program is designed to bring one-on-one counseling to older and disabled Montanans in their home towns. The counseling will help senior citizens understand Medicare and Medicaid as well as private insurance and Long-Term Care Insurance.

This counseling program is independent. No One will try to sell you any type of insurance. There is no charge for this service.

The SHIP program will help you answer these important questions:

  • How do I decide what health insurance I'll need when I retire?
  • Are there government health services I can qualify for?
  • I don't want to be a burden to my children, but can't afford the premiums for Long-Term Care Insurance. What do I need to consider?
  • How do I decide if I need Medicare Supplement Insurance?
  • What medical services are covered by Medicare?
  • What medical services are covered by Medicaid?

    Contact The Area VI Agency on Aging for the answers to these questions.
