Counselors will also help Medicare consumers enroll in programs that could assist with health insurance costs and reduce prescription drug costs.
If you are interested in volunteering please contact us. Upon a successful background check and the completion of the three-day training class volunteers will receive certification through the Minnesota Board on Aging as a Health Insurance Counselor with the State Health Insurance and Assistance Program (SHIP).
