The weather turning cooler signals the onset of Medicare open enrollment. Open Enrollment for 2025 runs from October 15th to December 7th of 2024.

To help, Aster is collaborating with Area Agency on Aging on the SHIP program. SHIP, the State Health Insurance Assistance Program, provides unbiased help to Medicare beneficiaries, their families, and caregivers.

A certified SHIP counselor can give you one-on-one guidance based on your unique situation and needs.

SHIP is here to help with:

• How to Enroll

• Plan Comparison

• Coverage and Costs

• Submitting Appeals

• Open Enrollment

• And More!

SHIP counselors will have open office hours, alternating between the Centers, each Thursday.

Contact our Outreach staff at 480-634-1659 or socialservices@asteraz.org for any program questions or to schedule your appointment.

You can also learn more about Medicare parts, which is right for you, and have your questions answered at our Medicare presentation, offered by Area Agency on Aging. Sign up today!
