More than two dozen K-State Research and Extension agents at county and district offices are trained and ready to help senior citizens explore all the options available to them through their Medicare plans. Through a statewide program known as SHICK, Senior Health Insurance Counseling for Kansas, trained Extension agents can help older adults make better choices. K-State Radio Network’s Randall Kowalik talks with two SHICK trained Extension agents about the program, how they can help people select the best plan, and, hopefully, save them money.
