Important Note

Basic Plan is for qualified individuals enrolled in Medicare Part A and Part B. WSHIP pays as secondary insurance and covers patient responsibility for eligible expenses. This plan does not provide prescription drug coverage except supplemental benefits for medications covered under Medicare Part B. Under Washington law, if you live in a county with a reasonable choice of Medicare Advantage Plans, you are ineligible for WSHIP.

Basic Plus Plan is closed to new enrollment.
