||| FROM LENA KASSA for ORCAS SENIOR CENTER |||
December 7 is the last day to make changes to your Medicare drug and Advantage plans this year to take effect on January 1, 2024. There is still time to get the right plan for next year if you act soon and trained Statewide Health Insurance Benefits Advisors (SHIBA) program volunteers are here to help.
The calendar for in-person appointments at the Orcas Island SHIBA office is nearly full, but there may be a few openings left. Call 360-376-5892 to schedule a counseling session today.
SHIBA, sponsored by Orcas Senior Center, is a free, unbiased, and confidential informational service offered through the Washington state Office of the Insurance Commissioner.
