As a senior citizen and veteran I was intimidated by the need to choose the best Medicare plan for me. I learned that citizens of Massachusetts have a federally funded program that provides free health insurance counseling to Medicare beneficiaries and their caregivers named “SHINE.” I contacted the local office here in Greenfield and set up an appointment. When the time came, I met with Anna who was able to help me understand the Medicare options, compare plans (such as Medicare Advantage, Medigap, and prescription drug plans), and navigate enrollment. She was very patient and clearly understood my needs as together, we completed the process. Thank you Anna!
