SHIP stands for State Health Insurance Assistance Program
The State Health Insurance Assistance Program, or 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 supplemental insurance policies, 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.
