Oklahoma’s Medicare Assistance Program volunteers are dedicated to assisting others by helping them understand the basics of Medicare, its options as well as assisting them with the enrollment processes, reporting fraudulent activities, assisting with claims etc. The number of individuals currently and soon to be qualified for Medicare benefits is on the rise; the need for additional volunteer support is ever increasing and that is why we need YOU to become a volunteer.
Why Should You Become a MAP Volunteer?
MAP provides services through many channels: seminars, local community training, one-on-one counseling, public speaking, publications, videos and more. Volunteers are the key to the program’s success.
MAP volunteers are called on to assist with questions on Medicare, Medicare supplements, employer benefit plans, managed care plans, prescription assistance programs, and more.
