Statewide Health Insurance Benefits Advisors (SHIBA)

SHIBA is Washington's State Health Insurance Assistance Program (federal SHIP designation). Trained volunteers provide free, unbiased, confidential one-on-one help with Medicare: understanding Parts A/B/C/D, comparing Medicare Advantage and Medigap (Medicare Supplement) plans, navigating Open Enrollment, choosing prescription drug plans, and applying for Medicare Savings Programs and Extra Help (Low-Income Subsidy). SHIBA does not sell insurance.
