Missouri State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP)

MO SHIP is Missouri’s State Health Insurance Assistance Program. State Health Insurance Assistance Programs are certified by the federal and state government to provide free, unbiased, and confidential (private) Medicare services. SHIPs are not insurance companies. Many are housed within government or nonprofit agencies, and they do not sell anything or charge for their services.

SHIP programs have volunteer counselors and Community Partners who provide local Medicare counseling in their communities.
Volunteers receive extensive training to become certified Medicare counselors and regularly receive updates and training.
