Arkansas Senior Health Insurance Information Program (AR SHIIP) connects Medicare beneficiaries, their families, and caregivers with certified counselors statewide. AR SHIIP’s local counselors offer one-to-one in person, or over the phone guidance regarding Medicare, Medicare Advantage Plans, Medicare Supplements, and Medicare Part D (drug plans) for FREE.

AR SHIIP partners perform a screening to determine if a Medicare recipient is eligible for a low-income subsidy help or with drug costs. AR SHIIP and partners will examine ways to lower out-of-pocket expense of Medicare or review other ways to save money.
