Accessing the vast vault of Medicare information, plans, and deadlines can feel overwhelming. But with the right tools, you can find exactly what you need. Think of Medicare.gov as your national library for Medicare information, while your local SHIP is your personalized librarian, offering one-on-one support to help you find the information that best fits your needs.

SHIPs and Medicare.gov are two trusted resources for people with Medicare to get help with understanding and comparing plan options and costs. Medicare.gov is the official government website that provides information on Original Medicare and federally contracted private health insurance, while SHIPs offer local, personalized counseling services. Depending on your needs, you can use one or both to help you navigate Medicare during the Open Enrollment Period. If you'd like to learn more about SHIP, visit www.shiphelp.org.
