JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. - The Missouri Department of Commerce and Insurance has introduced a new name for Missouri's State Health Insurance Assistance Program, Missouri SHIP, formerly known as Missouri CLAIM.

The program has been assisting Missourians with Medicare for 30 years and will continue to provide valuable services under the new name.

Missouri SHIP offers free assistance to Medicare-eligible individuals and their caregivers to help them select the most suitable plan.

Additionally, the program aids those with limited income in qualifying for Low-Income Subsidy and-or Medicare Savings Programs to reduce prescription drug costs.

For unbiased assistance throughout the year, Missourians can call 1-800-390-3330 or visit missouriship.org.

The Missouri SHIP program is funded by a federal grant through the Administration for Community Living in collaboration with Missouri Connections for Health.
