SF HICAP (Health Insurance Counseling and Advocacy Program) is funded by the State of California to provide assistance to people enrolled in or eligible for Medicare. Volunteer HICAP counselors provide free one-on-one counseling about Medicare benefits and consumer rights, supplemental insurance plan choices, billing and claims problems, and other Medicare-related health insurance issues to support the independence of people making choices that affect their health and financial well-being. Volunteer positions for special community education and long term care insurance counseling are also available.
SF HICAP is looking for motivated volunteers to help senior citizens and people with disabilities in San Francisco understand their Medicare health insurance benefits and current changes.
