Mastering the Medicare Maze: An Essential Guide to Benefits, Appeals and Medigap Insurance Policies - Betsy Abramson - Paperback

Mastering the Medicare Maze is written for Medicare beneficiaries to help them get the most out of Medicare. Modern Maturity calls it "the perfect consumer's companion guide to the federal government's Your Medicare Handbook" & says that it "fills in all the gaps with caveats, tips, updated information...& detailed guidelines on how to appeal a claim." A major benefit of this book is its simple explanations of how to appeal denied Medicare claims. Research shows that less than 3% of Medicare claims are ever appealed. But of those that are, over 60% are successful in returning dollars to beneficiaries. Mastering the Medicare Maze contains forms & step-by-step instructions on how to do appeals yourself. Mastering the Medicare Maze also contains a chapter about how to get a "good buy" on Medigap insurance which should save an individual hundreds of dollars a year. It also contains a glossary to understand the Medicare vocabulary & an index to find information easily. Adult children of elderly parents will find this book a lifesaver when dealing with a parent's catastrophic medical expenses. It's a book about Medicare that everyone can understand.Abramson, Betsy is the author of 'Mastering the Medicare Maze: An Essential Guide to Benefits, Appeals and Medigap Insurance Policies - Betsy Abramson - Paperback' with ISBN 9780932622402 and ISBN 0932622402.
