What is the cost of service from the health insurance counseling advocacy program (HICAP)?

The health insurance counseling advocacy program (HICAP) is designed to provide free assistance to California residents regarding health insurance issues, particularly Medicare options. HICAP services are offered at no cost to ensure that individuals, especially seniors, have access to unbiased information about their health insurance options without any financial burden. This aligns with the program's mission to promote understanding and empower consumers in making informed decisions about their health coverage.

Establishing that the program does not charge for its services encourages greater participation and helps ensure that those who might have difficulty navigating the complexities of health insurance can receive the support they need without concern for fees.
