About SHIIP

The Senior Health Insurance Information Program (SHIIP) is a free, objective and confidential service. SHIIP is offered through the Iowa Insurance Division. SHIIP offers one-on-one assistance, counseling, and education to Medicare beneficiaries, their families, and caregivers to help them make informed decisions about their care and benefits. SHIIP services support people with limited incomes, Medicare beneficiaries under the age of 65 with disabilities, and individuals who are dually eligible for Medicare and Medicaid.

Services are delivered through a state-wide network of trained and certified counselors who provide assistance in-person and by phone, make group presentations, and use a variety of media sources to educate people about Medicare.

To schedule an appointment with a SHIIP counselor, call 515-332-4200
