This program provides free, unbiased, confidential help with health insurance questions and concerns. For those who wish to choose an appropriate policy, file a claim, or understand health insurance options, trained volunteers can provide the necessary information.

When facing the constant changes in Medicare, long-term care insurance, medigap policies, and the national health care reform, the services offered through HIICAP enable clients to become better health care consumers. HIICAP helps area elders save more than $2,000,000 each year, and is recognized throughout New York for its high quality educational publications, seminars, and training programs for the public and professionals alike.

Long-Term Care Resource Center

In 2006, Action for Older Persons (AOP) opened Broome County’s official Long-Term Care Resource Center, a community education and resource center for individuals of all ages who are interested in planning for a successful and comfortable life as they age. The center features a resource library of printed and visual materials on a variety of long-term care topics and payment options. The center also offers informative seminars, as well as free, unbiased, and confidential counseling to help you put a plan in place to pay for long- term care that may include long-term care insurance. With no sales pitch, the Long-Term Care Resource Center assists you with:

  • Preserving Assets
  • Maintaining Independence
  • Improving Quality of Life
  • Easing Burden on Loved Ones
  • Understanding Choices and Care Options
  • This program is supported with funding by the New York State Office for Aging and the Long-Term Care Insurance Education & Outreach Program. New York State does not endorse or recommend any specific insurance product or insurer; this program is solely intended to educate consumers about their choices.
