Each year, the Nebraska Senior Health Insurance Information Program (SHIIP) researches, compiles, and distributes a Medicare Advantage Guide that includes a basic level of information about each MA plan option available in Nebraska. This guide has grown from a small brochure to a 40-page booklet where counselors and beneficiaries can compare the options in their area, and do so in very basic language that everyone can easily understand.

It may seem like an overwhelming task to research all of the MA plans available in your state, so the Nebraska team describes some tips for how to go about it and how the investment is worth it.
