| SHIP - State Health Insurance Assistance Program | ||
|
SHIP stands for State Health Insurance Assistance Program. SHIP is a federal grant program that helps States enhance and support a network of local programs, staff, and volunteers. Through one-on-one personalized counseling, education, and outreach, this network of resources provides accurate and objective information and assistance to Medicare beneficiaries and their families. This allows the recipients to better understand and utilize their Medicare benefits. SHIPs help beneficiaries identify and understand programs and plans, including Medicare prescription drug coverage, Medicare Advantage plans, Medicare Supplement plans (also known as Medigap plans), Medicare Savings Programs, long-term care insurance and financing, and other public and private health insurance coverage options. SHIPs also assist eligible participants in enrolling in these programs and plans. In Idaho, the SHIP program is called SHIBA.
