Welcome to San Francisco HICAP!

We provide free, unbiased Medicare advice for San Francisco residents only.  If you reside in another county, please refer to the tab on the left for Other HICAP Offices.

The Health Insurance Counseling and Advocacy Program (HICAP) is a state-sponsored, volunteer-supported program that provides free counseling to people with Medicare about their benefits, rights and options, and other health insurance-related questions. HICAP provides unbiased information to help you make an informed decision for your individual health care needs. The California Department of Aging (CDA) provides funding and oversight of the program through contracts with local Area Agencies on Aging (AAA) offices that administer the local HICAP programs.

You will note that a lot of information and resources are in the form of online links. We chose this method to give you access to the latest and most current information available. However, should this present a challenge to you, please feel absolutely free to call our office and we will be more than happy to assist.
