You have questions. We have the unbiased information you need to make the Medicare plan decisions best suited for you. 

As part of Chatham County Aging Services, the Seniors' Health Insurance Information Program (SHIIP) has experts specially trained to answer your Medicare questions and to help you with other insurance issues important to older adults 65 years of age or older, or approaching 65 years of age.

Some of these issues include:

  • Comparing  Medicare prescription drug (Part D) plans;
  • Comparing Medicare Advantage (Part C) plans;
  • Comparing Medicare Supplement Plans;
  • Preventing Medicare Fraud and abuse;
  • Extra Help Qualification;
  • Review of Medicare preventative services

Would a session at your local church, civic group or organization be beneficial? We offer "Road to Medicare" for individuals approaching age 65 and "Medicare 101" for those 65 and older.

For more information, contact Lawana Schulze, SHIIP Coordinator, at
919-742-3975.
