Where to go for each program — the official state agencies and free help lines — plus a curated hub of every resource and tool, organized by what you're trying to do.
Different programs are run by different offices. Medicaid is state-run; Medicare is federal but has a free counseling program in every state; and a separate state agency regulates Medigap and handles insurance complaints. These directories point you to the right one.
Find everything for your state
Pick your state to see its Medicaid agency, SHIP (free Medicare help), and insurance department together — the three offices you're most likely to need.
Searchable definitions for every term you run into.
Not sure which office you need? For Medicare questions, start with your SHIP or call 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227). For Medicaid or CHIP, contact your state Medicaid agency. For a problem with a Medigap policy or an insurance company, your state insurance department.
