Description
SHINE Program at Mystic Valley Elder Services
The SHINE (Serving Health Information Needs of Elders) Program is a state health insurance assistance program that provides free health insurance information, counseling, and assistance to Massachusetts residents with Medicare, those approaching Medicare eligibility, and their caregivers.
People who have Medicare or who are about to become eligible for Medicare can meet with a SHINE Counselor to learn about benefits and options available.
SHINE Counselors help Medicare beneficiaries understand their rights and benefits under Medicare and their other health insurance coverage. Counselors also review present coverage, provide written benefits comparisons, prevent consumers from buying unnecessary or duplicate coverage, and help prepare health benefit claim forms, appeals, and applications.
