Become a PA MEDI Volunteer

Most PA MEDI counselors are concerned citizens who have a question or issue regarding their own health insurance. Once they find the answer, they want to learn more and share what they have learned with others.

As a PA MEDI Volunteer, you will:

• receive free training about Medicare and related health insurance products,

• participate in additional training and certification courses to maintain your level of expertise,

• become a counselor, a speaker, an assistant, a data entry person, or even a writer.

Whatever your talents or schedule may be, there is an opportunity for you.

For more information, contact our PA MEDI Coordinator:
