Medicare & Medicaid · Minnesota · Free

NCOA's senior-focused Medicare planning hub with checklists and webinars. Most relevant for low-income seniors who may qualify for Extra Help, QMB, SLMB, or QI without realizing it. Counselors walk through specific plans by name, compare drug costs side by side, and flag Medicare Savings Program eligibility. One of the most-used resources for older adults without family help navigating the system. Free service; donations support but never gate access.
