Turning 65? Piece of cake.
The mission of the Senior Health Insurance Information Program (SHIIP) is to educate and empower Arkansans about Medicare.
Our federally funded program connects Medicare beneficiaries, their families and caregivers with certified counselors statewide. These localized counselors provide one-to-one guidance about Medicare, Medicare Advantage, MEDIGAP, Medicare Part D (drug plans) and Long-term care insurance at no cost. Our partners perform a screening and examination to determine if a Medicare recipient would be eligible for a low-income extra help programs or other services, including out-of-pocket expense of Medicare and prescription drug costs. If not eligible they may initiate a plan review to discover other ways to save some money.
AR SHIIP can help you
navigate the world of Medicare.
Our statewide partners and counselors are here to:
- Answer any of your questions
- Enroll in the plan of your choice
- Compare prescription drug insurance
- Aid with Medicare billing problems

Let us connect you.
Arkansas SHIIP's team of statewide partners offer in-person or over-the-phone guidance and resources about your Medicare benefits. Our certified counselors perform a screening and examination to determine if you are eligible for low-income subsidy (LIS), extra help programs, and/or Medicare Savings Program (MSP) and will aid you through the application process. We have helped recipients save thousands of dollars annually on Medicare premiums and co-pays.

Recruiting and training volunteers throughout the state to assist Medicare Beneficiaries is another part of SHIIP's mission. SHIIP staff and trained volunteers are available for group and community event presentations.
