Between October 15 and December 7, you can review your Medicare coverage and choose the plan that best fits your needs for 2027. By now, you should have received information from your current prescription drug (Part D) or Advantage plan. Read it carefully, since premiums, deductibles, or copays may increase and coverage may shift. Even if your plan looks the same, your health needs or prescriptions may have changed, making it worth exploring other options.
Join us for a presentation on 2027 Medicare changes on Wednesday, October 28, at 1 p.m. at Orcas Senior Center.
Trained SHIBA volunteers are ready to help you review your options. Our assistance is free, unbiased, and confidential. One-on-one appointments are available at Orcas Senior Center, and drop-in help will be offered on Sunday, November 22 (10 a.m.–2 p.m.) and Saturday, December 5 (10 a.m.–12 p.m.) on a first-come, first-served basis.
SHIBA, sponsored by Orcas Senior Center, is a free, unbiased, and confidential informational service offered through the Washington State Office of the Insurance Commissioner. Contact the Orcas Island SHIBA office at 360-376-5892 to schedule a counseling session.
