What is SHIP?
The State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP) provides free individualized information, education and unbiased counseling to Medicare beneficiaries and their families regarding Medicare health insurance and related programs. SHIP is located within Charles County Government, Department of Community Services, Aging and Human Services Division. We strive to educate our residents in making informed health care decisions and to get the most value for their health insurance dollars. SHIP is a federally funded grant program administered by the Maryland Department of Aging on behalf of the Administration for Community Living and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. Each State and US territory offers a SHIP program. Staff and volunteers are trained and certified, to provide you with the most up-to-date information regarding Medicare benefits and other health insurance options.
