The Colorado Senior Health Insurance Assistance Program is a counseling program for Medicare recipients and their families who wish assistance in understanding Medicare benefits and coverage gaps, medical bills, and other insurance options. Services are provided through a statewide network of organizations that recruit volunteers, publicize services, and administer the programs.
Counselors donate their time and expertise.
All counselors attend extensive training programs and receive reference materials and referral sources for other information. Information can be obtained on Medicare supplements, health maintenance organizations and long term care. Counselors will not recommend or endorse specific insurance policies, but will educate and assist you in making informed insurance choices. To locate a volunteer in your area, call one of the participating organizations listed below. They will arrange for a local volunteer to contact you and set up an appropriate meeting time and place.
