You should also call this number if you want to make sure that a plan that you are considering is an official Medicare approved plan.
If you qualify for STATE PROGRAM this is not the best resource for you to use because it may not have STATE specific information about the STATE coordinating private plans. You need to go to STATE specific resources for help!
