SHIP: State Health Insurance Counseling and Assistance Program

Aspects of Need Addressed: Medical, Financial

OK, I found out what SHIP really is.

It is a program linked to Medicare, but not controlled by it. See this link.

In New Jersey, it is a program run by the NJ Department of Health and Human Services. See this link.

The SHIP Counselors are distributed around the State, by county. See this link.

In my county, Mercer County, the SHIP Counseling franchise is held by a private agency called Family Guidance Center Corporation. See this link.

Tomorrow I'll see if I can get through to the lady who is the Mercer County SHIP counselor.
