The Senior Health Insurance Benefits Assistance Program (SHIBA) produces the guide. SHIBA is administered by the state and funded by the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. It offers free and unbiased one-on-one counseling and assistance to Medicare beneficiaries and their families who assist them.
SHIBA counselors help people review, compare and enroll in Medicare insurance plans.
The state SHIBA office in Salem contracts with 22 organizations throughout the state to provide local Medicare counseling through trained volunteers. Volunteers are available in 32 of Oregon's 36 counties. To find a local SHIBA sponsoring organization in your county, click here.
The state SHIBA office staff provides Medicare counseling by phone for residents of the counties that do not currently have a local SHIBA sponsoring organization - Grant, Morrow, and Umatilla. Please call 1-800-722-4134 to reach the SHIBA state office. For more information, visit www.oregonshiba.org.
SHIBA is part of the Department of Consumer and Business Services, Oregon's largest regulatory agency.
