You can "shine" and be a ray of hope to seniors, adults with disabilities, and caregivers as you provide free and unbiased counseling about their Medicare choices, prescription drugs, and other health insurance matters.
As a volunteer SHINE Medicare Counselor, you can assist seniors by:
1. Helping first-time enrollees understand the Medicare options available to them;
2. Assisting current beneficiaries better understand the insurance coverage they do have;
3. Comparing Medicare Advantage and Prescription Drug Plans for those considering a change in their coverage;
4. Helping low-income beneficiaries apply to financial assistance programs that could lower their monthly Medicare costs; and
5. Educating beneficiaries how to protect themselves from Medicare fraud and abuse.
