Lt. Gov. Tregenza Roach announces office closure of its Virgin Islands State Health Insurance Program (VI SHIP)/Medicare division on St. Thomas on Tuesday, Nov. 26.
The temporary closure is to allow staff to host an Open Enrollment event on St. John at St. Ursula Senior Center, from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM. The Open Enrollment outreach services will include educating Medicare beneficiaries, family members, and caregivers about Medicare and the services available from VI SHIP. There will also be in-person enrollment, and information regarding Medicare Plan D changes for 2025.
During the closure, the St. Croix VI SHIP/Medicare office located on the second floor of the former Caribe Home Center building, in Castle Coakley, remains open for regular services. The office will resume regular hours of operation. The division will reopen to the public at 8:00 a.m. on Wednesday, November 27, 2024.
The Office of the Lieutenant Governor apologizes for any inconvenience this temporary closure may cause. For assistance during this one-day closure, Medicare beneficiaries may contact the (VI SHIP) St. Croix office at 340-774-2991 extensions 3151 or 3152.
