The Seniors' Health Insurance Information Program (SHIIP) answers
questions and counsels Medicare beneficiaries and caregivers about
Medicare, Medicare supplements, Medicare Advantage, Medicare
prescription drug plans, long-term care insurance and other health
insurance concerns. The counselors on our toll free line offers free
and unbiased counseling on Medicare health care products. The North
Carolina SMP Program provides assistance with Medicare/Medicaid
billing errors, fraud and abuse.

The program was created in 1986 by the late North Carolina Insurance
Commissioner Jim Long, and has become the link between senior citizens
and information about their health insurance.

Since the program's creation, SHIIP has become a role model for other
states. SHIIP has received two national awards for "innovative" and
"exemplary" service.

Do you know someone who is on Medicare and needs assistance in paying
for their prescription drugs? Medicare beneficiaries may be eligible
for the federal Extra Help low income subsidy program if he/she has
limited income and resources. The Extra Help program can increase cost
savings by paying for all or part of the monthly premiums, annual
deductibles and provide lower prescription co-payments under a
Medicare prescription drug plan. To qualify for Extra Help, the annual
income must be limited to $16,245 for an individual ($21,855 for a
married couple living together). Additionally, the total resources
must be limited to $12,510 for an individual ($25,010 for a married
couple living together). The resources do not include a primary
residence or a vehicle. If you believe someone you know may qualify
for the Extra Help program, please encourage them to apply on-line at
www.socialsecurity.gov, or contact our office toll free at
800-443-9354 and we may assist them with completing the on-line
application process or send them a paper application. Check the MIPPA
Calendar of Events.
