The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Community Living has awarded a $525,096 Formula Grant under the Medicare Enrollment Assistance Program (CFDA 93.071) to the Indiana Department of Insurance. The grant, which has a performance period from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2027, will support the Department of Insurance's Senior Health Insurance Information Program (SHIP) in providing comprehensive counseling, education, and enrollment assistance to Medicare beneficiaries in Indiana, with a focus on low-income, rural, and non-native English populations. Key services to be delivered include conducting community outreach, offering one-on-one enrollment counseling, and helping beneficiaries apply for Medicare Part D Low Income Subsidy and Medicare Savings Programs. The grant funding will enable the Department of Insurance to recruit and train counselors, develop educational materials, and expand digital and traditional media resources to help Medicare recipients navigate complex healthcare options and access critical preventive, wellness, and cost-reduction programs.
