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:
