Resources from the SHIP Network
The Alabama SHIP Team created a Medicare Protection Toolkit to help Medicare beneficiaries make informed decisions and to help prevent fraud and abuse.
The North Carolina SHIP in collaboration with the AARP, the N.C. Hospital Association, the N.C. Medical Society, the N.C. Department of Health and Human Services, and the N.C. Health Care Facilities Association launched the Stop. Question. Call. campaign to urge Medicare beneficiaries to call the SHIP before making changes to their Medicare coverage.
