Medicare is complicated! SHINE, Serving Health Insurance Needs of Elders, can help!

The program provides free, unbiased health insurance counseling to Medicare beneficiaries, their families, and caregivers. SHINE counselors can help you:

Understand your Medicare benefits.
Choose the Medicare prescription drug plan that best fits your needs.
Assist with Medicare claims and appeals.

SHINE counselors are committed to helping you make informed choices regarding your Medicare Benefits. Counselors are not insurance salespeople and will never attempt to sell you insurance. All counseling records are strictly confidential.

SHINE counselors are also part of Senior Medicare Patrol which teaches you how to protect yourself from Medicare fraud and abuse. SHINE counselors can help you detect billing errors and determine if you could be a target of Medicare fraud. SHINE will help file a fraud report with the Office of Inspector General, Division of Health and Human Services.

OUR SPEAKER: Marti Hearn is the current SHINE liaison for Escambia, Santa Rosa, Okaloosa, and Walton County. She leads a team of trained SHINE counselors helping seniors with all their Medicare issues.
