Health Insurance Counseling

Organization: DC Department of Aging and Community Living (DACL)

Medicare beneficiaries, their families, and caregivers living in the District of Columbia can access free health insurance information, counseling, education, and assistance through our DC State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP). SHIP counselors are trained to get you the information you need and can work with you directly to understand the ins and outs of Medicare so you can make informed decisions about your healthcare and insurance coverage.

We can also assist you with resolving unpaid medical bills, making appeals for denials of medical services, and obtaining prescription medications. Connect with a counselor today at (202) 727-8370 to get your questions answered and better understand your coverage and options.
