SHICK is a free, unbiased, and confidential program that uses trained, community
volunteers to answer people’s questions about Medicare and other insurance issues. Our volunteer counselors do not work for any insurance company. Their goal is to educate and assist the public in making informed decisions about their health care options.

Medicare Advantage (Part C) and prescription drug plans (Part D) to members of the public.

about Medicare Parts A, B, C, and D as well as other health insurance issues (for example Medigap, Long-Term Care, Medicare Savings Plans).
