These sessions provide individuals with increased knowledge of benefit options, billing issues, and appeals.
SHIBA helps:
- residents over the age of 65 and people with disabilities (ages 18–64) understand their health insurance benefits and options
- increase health care access and understanding
- identify potential areas of Medicare fraud, error or abuse
