SHINE is a program of the Florida Department of Elder Affairs and is operated locally through Area Agency on Aging of Pasco & Pinellas County. Specially trained volunteers help Medicare beneficiaries, their families, and caregivers to understand their health care options. The SHINE mission is to provide free and unbiased information about Medicare and Medicaid for beneficiaries, their families, and caregivers. SHINE also educates beneficiaries to protect, detect, and report potential errors, fraud, and abuse with their Medicare coverage. To receive help from SHINE, individuals may schedule appointments at designated SHINE counseling sites, attend enrollment events in their local communities, or arrange to speak with a trained SHINE counselor at 1-800-96-ELDER (1-800-963-5337).
