Seniors:
Need Help With Your Insurance Questions?

The Florida Department of Elder Affairs has developed a program to help seniors with their Medicare and health-insurance questions.

SHINE (Serving Health Insurance Needs of Elders) trains senior volunteers to assist other seniors with their questions about Medicare, Medicare supplement, long-term care and other health insurance issues. The Florida Department of Financial Services serves as SHINE’s technical advisor and recommends the program to consumers. To find out if a SHINE program operates in your community, please contact the Elder Helpline toll-free at 1-800-96-ELDER (1-800-963-5337) or the Florida Department of Elder Affairs at (850) 414-2000.
