SHIP stands for State Health Insurance Assistance Program. In Utah, it's administered through the Aging and Disability Resource Centers, or ADRCs. These are trained volunteer counselors who give free, unbiased help with Medicare questions. They have no financial stake in what you choose, which makes them a trustworthy resource when you're sorting through plan options.The statewide number to reach Utah's ADRC network is 1-877-424-4640. You can also find local contacts by visiting Utah211.org and searching for Medicare counseling or ADRC services near you. Many counties have an office that offers in-person appointments, and phone consultations are typically available if you live somewhere more rural.SHIP counselors can help you understand your coverage options, walk through plan comparisons, explain Medicare Savings Programs that might lower your costs, and help if you have a billing problem or need to file an appeal. They do not sell insurance, so there's no pressure involved.If you're supporting an aging parent and can't always be there in person, getting them connected with a local ADRC counselor is one of the most practical things you can do. The help is genuinely free and the counselors know Medicare in detail.

Our Commitment to Reliable Medicare Information
At Resting Sycamore Advisors, we work to provide accurate, current, and trustworthy information about Medicare Advantage, Medicare Part D, and Special Needs Plans.
To do that, we use data published by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), which is the official source for Medicare plan and enrollment information.
Our Medicare plan pages and comparison tools are powered by CMS datasets, including:
When possible, we link to the original CMS resources so you can review the source material directly.
We follow the CMS release schedule and update our website as new data becomes available.
We load new plan year Landscape and PBP files before the Medicare Annual Enrollment Period (October 15 through December 7). We also monitor CMS.gov for updates or revisions and refresh our content when needed.
We update enrollment and performance data as CMS publishes revised files, which are typically released monthly or quarterly.
We routinely monitor CMS announcements for corrections, reissued files, or other changes and update our pages accordingly.
Each plan page includes a Last Accessed date so visitors can see when the source information was most recently reviewed.
CMS data can be difficult to read in raw form. To make it easier to use, we format and organize the data for clarity.
This includes:
All data values come from CMS. We do not change the underlying values beyond formatting, organization, and presentation.
We keep internal records of the CMS dataset versions used on our site.
If CMS issues corrected or revised files, we update our website to reflect the latest available version.
Please keep the following in mind:
