Medicare Counselor - Jasper County

FOR MORE INFORMATION AND TO APPLY, VISIT OUR WEBSITE: https://www.missouriship.org/volunteer

Missouri State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP) is always seeking new volunteers who want to help others in their community. Our certified counselors help people understand their Medicare healthcare benefits and assist them on a one-on-one basis. Volunteer counselors are the heart of the program. As a community-based effort, the program is founded on the principle of neighbors helping neighbors. Therefore, we seek Missouri residents to join our program and assist fellow Missourians.

Currently, more than 200 counselors serve the needs of the nearly 2.3 million Missourians with Medicare. Our volunteers provide the local links that keep our program running. "Our goal is to give them information and to put a smile on their face," Missouri SHIP volunteer Don Fues said. "I had one person who gave us their list of meds. Without insurance - they were a cancer patient - their meds for the year would be $80,000. Doing what we could do with the level of income that they had, their medications would cost them nothing. I felt good about that."

If you are interested in helping people save money on health insurance and prescription drugs, then this is a great opportunity for you.
