Who are the counselors?
Missouri SHIP has more than 200 trained and certified counselors across the state who provide free, local Medicare counseling in their communities. Counselors complete extensive training and ongoing education throughout the year to stay certified. They help individuals understand their healthcare options, navigate the Medicare system, and reduce Medicare-related costs. Some counselors are paid staff at their agencies, while others are dedicated community volunteers.
Missouri SHIP partners with trusted community organizations statewide. These Community Partners may have staff trained as SHIP counselors or host SHIP counselors for events and Medicare counseling sessions. Our Community Volunteer Counselors and Community Partners are essential to our mission.
