Senior Health Insurance Information Program (SHIIP)

Description

The Senior Health Insurance Information Program (SHIIP) is part of a federal network of State Health Insurance Assistance Programs located in every state. SHIIP is a non-profit organization designed to provide an unbiased place for seniors and pre-retirees to find answers to their health insurance questions. All of our services are free. In Indiana, SHIIP is sponsored by the Centers of Medicare and Medicaid Services (the federal agency which administers Medicare) and the Indiana Department of Insurance. SHIIP is not affiliated with any insurance company or agency, and does not sell insurance. SHIIP is staffed by a crew of volunteer counselors who have completed an intensive 4-day training course and are certified by the Indiana State Department of Insurance. Regular training updates keep them current with the most recent changes in Medicare and other health care insurance options. SHIIP counselors are committed volunteers who offer you free and objective assistance in complete confidence.
