The Seniors' Health Insurance Information Program (SHIIP) counsels Medicare beneficiaries and caregivers about Medicare, Medicare supplement plans, Medicare Advantage, Medicare Part D, and Long-Term Care Insurance. Our counselor offers free and unbiased information regarding Medicare health care products. We also help people recognize and prevent Medicare billing errors and possible fraud or abuse through our NC SMP Program.
Open enrollment is October 15 - December 7 every year for Medicare Part D and Medicare Advantage Plans. Changes become effective January 1st of the following year.
Be sure to bring your Medicare card and your current medications with you to your appointment.
