Medicare Health Plans:
SHIPs are state programs that get money from the federal government to give local health insurance counseling to people with Medicare. SHIPs aren’t connected to any insurance company or health plan. SHIP volunteers work hard to help you with these Medicare questions or concerns: ■ Your Medicare rights ■ Billing problems ■ Complaints about your medical care or treatment ■ Plan choices ■ How Medicare works with other insurance See pages 141–144 for the phone number of your local SHIP. If you would like to become a volunteer SHIP counselor, contact the SHIP in your state to learn more.
