SHIIP is Recognized for Outstanding Work
Insurance Commissioner Wayne Goodwin would like to recognize the outstanding work of the county coordinators for SHIIP, the Seniors’ Health Insurance Information Program. SHIIP coordinators help train and organize volunteers in their respective counties to provide free, one-on-one counseling about Medicare to beneficiaries and their caregivers.
Katherine Cobb, the coordinator for Cleveland County, attended the SHIIP Coordinators’ Training Conference in Greensboro on July 17-18.
“I am so proud of our SHIIP coordinators for staying on top of important Medicare issues and learning to better serve their communities,” said Goodwin. “Because of their willingness to be leaders in SHIIP, we are able to help people all over North Carolina make informed decisions about Medicare coverage.”
A division of the North Carolina Department of Insurance, SHIIP provides free and unbiased information about Medicare, Medicare prescription drug coverage, Medicare Advantage, long-term care insurance and other health insurance issues. While SHIIP employs a small paid staff, a great deal of its outreach is performed through trained volunteers who provide counseling in all 100 counties in North Carolina.
