When it comes to healthcare, it's always a good thing to get some help.
The Michigan Medicare Medicaid Assistance Program provides just that. The purpose of the program is to educate, counsel, and empower older adults and people with disabilities in Michigan about their health benefits.
That information can help them make more informed decisions about their health.
MMAP counselors are trained in Medicare and Medicaid law and regulations, as well as, health insurance counseling and the relevant insurance products involved in healthcare. These specialists aren't connected to any specific insurance companies, but instead work to help provide clients with the best options objectively and confidentially.
Councilors for MMAP have assisted thousands of Michigan citizens and together have saved millions of dollars in out-of-pocket expenses.
The Area Agency on Aging of Western Michigan can tell you more about what a MMAP counselor can do for you, and can help connect you to one.
