SHICK/Medicare Insurance Counseling
SHICK (Senior Health Insurance Counseling for Kansas) is a free program offering older Kansans an opportunity to talk with trained, community volunteers about Medicare and other health insurance programs.
Our trained community volunteers do not sell insurance or work for any insurance company. We are here to support older adults, family members, caregivers, and anyone new to Medicare with Medicare questions, enrollment, plan comparisons and accessing prescription drugs at reduced costs.
How we can help you and your loved ones
- Free, confidential counseling
- An opportunity to speak with real people, not automated systems
- Employment and Medicare information
- Disability and Medicare information
- Supplemental Rate Comparisons via insurance.kansas.gov
- Assistance with the Medicare Part D Extra Help program, which helps with the cost of your prescription drugs, like deductibles and copays
