Joining Medicare in 2026?
Medicare enrollment is not automatic for most people, so you’ll probably need to enroll. Then you’ll have to decide what type of Medicare coverage you want. To understand how and when to enroll and to make an informed decision about your coverage choices, there is a lot of new information you’ll need to understand.
Trained Statewide Health Insurance Benefits Advisors (SHIBA) volunteers are offering a free Welcome to Medicare presentation by Zoom on Thursday, January 22nd at 10:30 am.
This presentation will explain how Medicare works, what your coverage options are and when you must act to avoid penalties. Register to attend by sending an email to [email protected] and include your first and last name and your email address.
SHIBA is a free, unbiased and confidential informational service offered through the Washington state Office of the Insurance Commissioner.
SHIBA has trained volunteer counselors available on the 3 largest islands in San Juan County. To schedule your free personal, confidential, unbiased counseling session with a SHIBA volunteer on Lopez Island call 360-468-4117. The Orcas Senior Center sponsors the SHIBA volunteers in San Juan County.
