Deerfield Volunteers Help Seniors Navigate Medicare

With so many plans, navigating Medicare can be a stressful task.

To make it easier, the Patty Turner Center's Senior Health Insurance Program (SHIP) team can help seniors choose a Medicare supplemental policy, shop for the best drug plan, navigate a tricky claim or see if they qualify for reduced premiums.

The volunteers can also explain the new preventive benefits and provide a personalized orientation for baby boomers new to Medicare. 

SHIP volunteers have undergone rigorous training from the Illinois Department on Aging to provide free counseling to assist seniors with all their Medicare matters.

For an appointment, call the Patty Turner Center at (847) 940-4010.
