Navigating Medicare can be challenging. Becky Hayward, Outreach and Education Supervisor for Ohio Senior Health Insurance Information Program (OSHIIP), joined Pete Scalia in studio to help you get a better understanding of Medicare and Medicaid insurance coverage options and benefits.
OSHIIP, a program of the Ohio Department of Insurance, provides Ohioans on Medicare with free, objective health insurance information and one-on-one Medicare counseling. Last year, through all of its services and outreach, OSHIIP saved Ohioans $24 million by helping identify suitable Medicare coverage options and financial assistance programs.
