Organization Information

Mission Statement

Missouri Connections for Health assists individuals in navigating and accessing healthcare, housing, and other benefits. We educate and empower communities to make informed health decisions that create a healthier Missouri. We are a nonprofit organization, and all of our services are free, unbiased, and confidential. We are not an insurance agency. We do not sell anything, and our counselors do not ask Missourians for money.

Description

MCH provides services for the Missouri State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP) through a contract with the State of Missouri's Department of Commerce & Insurance (DCI). The Administration for Community Living provides funding with oversight by the DCI. Missouri SHIP answers questions about Medicare for Missourians. We have been the official State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP) for Missouri since 1993.

Missouri SHIP has more than 200 volunteer counselors throughout Missouri providing local Medicare counseling in their communities. Volunteers receive extensive training by participating in a comprehensive Medicare training course, as well as by receiving monthly updates.

Clients call Missouri SHIP at 1-800-390-3330 and our Customer Service Reps gather information from the caller and then relay that information to a local community partner. Within 2-3 business days, a volunteer counselor calls back to set up an appointment or provide the information by phone.

Volunteers help with Medicare questions like:

Enrollment and billing
Medicare Prescription Drug plans
Medigap and supplemental insurance
Long-term care planning and insurance
Medicare Advantage plans
Appeals and grievances
Suspected waste, fraud and abuse

I currently work for a managed care organization. Unfortunately, this is a conflict of interest according to CLAIM (Community Leaders Assisting the Insured of Missouri). Although I understand the program exclusion criteria, I believe my background in managed care would have been an asset the company. In addition, I probably would have learned a lot.

Any organization that can promote and assist the elderly and less fortunate to navigate their way through the system gets my vote. It is my belief, that with minimal instruction, I can be an asset to this organization. I am 54 years old female, married, and the mother of 2 grown children. My 22 year old son is currently employed my the Mo. Army National Guard. My 29 year old daughter is a school teacher. I also have a strong desire to assist our troops in any way possible. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, Mary Sue Oliver
