Marylanders can find and compare Medicare Advantage insurers through official government resources, state-run assistance programs, insurance brokers, and private comparison websites. Your choice of plan will depend on your specific health needs, budget, and location, as available plans vary by county. 

Official government resources

• Medicare Plan Finder on Medicare.gov: The official Medicare website offers a plan comparison tool where you can enter your ZIP code to see all available Medicare Advantage plans in your area. The tool also displays the plan's quality ratings from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), which can help you compare options.
• Maryland State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP): This program provides free, unbiased counseling to Maryland Medicare beneficiaries. Trained staff and volunteers offer personalized help with understanding benefits, comparing plans, and enrolling.
• Maryland Department of Aging: The state department's website provides Medicare information and contact numbers for each county's SHIP office.
• Maryland Insurance Administration: The state agency can help with insurance education and assist with consumer complaints related to Medicare.
