Senior Health Insurance Counseling for Kansas (SHICK)
SHICK counselors receive training on all aspects of Medicare, long-term care insurance and other health insurance topics that concern Kansans. Counselors are available to meet with consumers for personalized counseling sessions, to help with problems and questions, and to provide support during the decision-making process. SHICK counselors will not recommend policies, companies, or agents, but will provide free, unbaised answers to the questions of consumers, their family memebers, and other caregivers.
The goal of our counselors is to educate and assist the public in making informed decisions about their health care options.
