Medicare/Medicaid Benefits Counseling
Region 3B AAA provides free MMAP Benefits Counseling to assist seniors in Calhoun County with Medicare, Medicaid, Part D and other insurance needs. Benefits Counselors have been trained in Medicare, Medicaid, and other insurance products, to assist seniors who are unaware of programs they may be eligible for such as, the Medicare Savings Program to pay their Medicare Part B premiums. Some of these programs also help to cover the deductibles for both Part A and Part B. Through the counseling process for Part D, seniors have the opportunity to learn about other beneficial programs that are not well publicized. Counselors provide unbiased education and assistance and are not connected with any insurance company. Call 1-800-803-7174 to speak to a counselor to schedule an appointment.
