OSHIIP stands for the Ohio Senior Health Insurance Information Program, an unbiased source of information to help people learn about Medicare and consists of staff and trained volunteers to conduct workshops and one-on-one consultations. In preparation for the Oct. 15-Dec. 7 Medicare Annual Open Enrollment Period, OSHIIP offers both virtual and in-person opportunities to learn about Medicare changes for 2025, how to review your current plan, ways to save money, and how to compare plans for 2025.
