Medicare Demystified: A Physician Helps Save You Time, Money, and Frustration: 2017 Edition

by Ronald Kahan

If you are one of the millions of Americans who are turning sixty-five this year, or if that benchmark is drawing near, you’re probably finding yourself faced with a lot of questions concerning your future and, in particular, your health care and how to afford it.

Medicare is an insurance program unlike any you’ve encountered before. If you want to get the most out of your coverage and maximize the medical care system as a Medicare recipient, you have to fully understand your available options in order to select what’s best for you as an individual. But, given the existing resources on the matter, this is something that’s often far easier said than done—until now.

Medicare Demystified is a straightforward, easy-to-follow, step-by-step guide for deciphering Medicare options, enrollment, and care. Written by a practicing physician with over thirty years’ experience, it provides invaluable insight into the costs and benefits senior citizens must evaluate when selecting and using their Medicare plans.

An approachable, unbiased text, Medicare Demystified is a must-read for anyone seeking practical answers and advice regarding a complex subject that we all must deal with as we get older. This book will save you time, money, and frustration.

Excellent

Clearly and completely informative. Brings clarity to a very confusing subject. Also includes insights about health care staff perspectives and guidelines on decision making.

Very helpful information on a difficult subject. Have read several of these on this subject, and this book is the best by far.

By far the best book I have read on Medicare. Medicare Demystified is written from the perspective of a physician Dr. Ronald Kahan. He writes clear, concise, informative information on this complex program and how it will work for your medical needs. Anyone turning 65 and preparing to sign up for Medicare must read this book. I came away with enough information to make informed decisions about which option to chose and which polices to buy. I had a lot of questions that Dr. Kahan answered in this book and I can go back to it and refer to anything I needed. I feel like I have a game plan now instead of feeling overwhelmed by Medicare's complexity. Thank you Dr. Kahan. Time to move on to the next book and review.

Great information. Easy to understand.

This is the first book I have read that explained Medicare and all of its options in a comprehensive way. It made the Medicare System as easy to understand as I think it is possible to make it.
