Yes. Utah's SHIP program is called the Aging and Disability Resource Centers, or ADRC. Trained counselors provide free, unbiased Medicare help to Utah residents.
Every state has a SHIP, which stands for State Health Insurance Assistance Program. It's a federally funded program that provides free one-on-one Medicare counseling. In Utah, SHIP is run through the Aging and Disability Resource Centers, commonly called the ADRC. These counselors are not insurance agents and don't sell anything. They can walk you through your Medicare options, help you compare plans, explain your rights, and even assist if you have a billing problem or coverage dispute. The ADRC serves all of Utah, including rural areas where it can be harder to find in-person help. You can call them, meet with a counselor in person at a local area agency on aging, or sometimes connect through community events. This is especially useful if you're just turning 65 and feeling overwhelmed by the options, or if you're helping an aging parent sort through Medicare for the first time. They don't favor any insurance company, so the advice is genuinely neutral.
Utah's SHIP program operates through the Aging and Disability Resource Centers (ADRC). You can find your local ADRC through the Utah Department of Human Services or by calling 1-800-AGE-UTAH. Services are free and available statewide.
For you, this means there's a free, no-pressure resource right here in Utah where you can get straight answers about Medicare without anyone trying to sell you something.
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.
