Are you looking for rewarding volunteer work?

HICAP (Health Insurance Counseling and Advocacy Program) has answers to these and many other questions! Our counselors are trained in Medi-Cal and Medicare and can help you navigate the complex insurance options to find the best fit for you. HICAP services are free of charge and are available at several locations throughout Tulare and Kings Counties, including Visalia, Tulare, Porterville, Dinuba, and Hanford. You can also learn about Medicare or Medi-Cal by attending one of the many community presentations or conferences conducted by HICAP counselors.
