Medicare Questions?

SHIBA (Statewide Health Insurance Benefits Advisors) is a free, unbiased, confidential service of the Washington State Office of the Insurance Commissioner. SHIBA volunteers help people of all ages and backgrounds with their Medicare questions and options. The main office is on Orcas, but Lopez Island residents have their own phone line through the Lopez Island Family Resource Center (LIFRC) to receive help with Medicare decisions.
