HICAP Sonoma County
Ongoing Services
In California the Medicare Health Insurance Counseling and Advocacy Program (HICAP), provides beneficiaries with unbiased individual assistance and advocacy related to their Medicare benefits as well as community educational opportunities.
North Bay HICAP serves the 6 counties of Lake, Mendocino, Marin, Napa, Solano, and Sonoma.
Since 1992, the national SHIP and state HICAP network have provided critical information upon which people with Medicare rely to make informed decisions about their coverage options and enrollment decisions. As roughly 10,000 people a day become eligible for Medicare, more and more people with Medicare and their families depend on HICAP.
North Bay HICAP serves as the key source of unbiased, face to face guidance concerning increasingly complicated choices regarding Medicare.
