Long-term care issues
Medicare & Retirement/Financial Planning
Written by a Certified Financial Planner(r), nationally-recognized expert (as Expert contributor on mymedicareanswers.com, powered by Humana, Inc, the nation's 2nd largest provider of Medicare plans), and frequent public speaker in person and on talk radio stations nationwide, Maximize Your Medicare provides analysis and advice you can use in plain-spoken English with NEW, UPDATED 2015 Premiums, and cost-sharing details.
The book is not an endorsement of any carrier's product. It is written to distinguish differences among the numerous alternatives that face those affected by Medicare.
There is no political agenda associated with this book: it is written for the benefit of the Medicare beneficiary, their families, and their advisers, both personal and professional.
Medicare is frequently misunderstood for many reasons: confusing dates, perplexing rules, excessive advertisements. Maximize Your Medicare is intended to address these misunderstandings, so you can choose the right option for yourself. The book includes examples of real-life cases, which may be similar to the situation that you may face. The bottom line: you are not alone and the situation you face may be similar to the situation that others have faced, are facing, and will face in the future.
Maximize Your Medicare explains:
* What Medicare is
* How/when to enroll
* Your rights and options when you become eligible for Medicare
* How to Compare Medicare Advantage and Medigap plans
* How private plans (group, Medicare Advantage, Medigap) interact with Medicare
* How prescription drug benefits work under Medicare Part D
* How to choose among employer (group) plans and private plans
Maximize Your Medicare can help you from making costly errors. It is not enough to simply know the basics of Medicare. The fine print, and changing situation can mean the difference between saving money, or paying out-of-pocket expenses, that may have been excessive or unnecessary, if you had the correct information.
Maximize Your Medicare offers tips on how to get extra benefits and shows you benefits that you may not have known existed. The book FULLY explains why your out-of-pocket expenses may be higher than you expected, and what to do to avoid them. In addition, there are special sections which describe some special groups of beneficiaries, from veterans to governmental employees to the seriously ill. Special attention is devoted to those that are part of employer-sponsored group plans.
Healthcare professionals can use this book to explain how Medicare works to the benefit of practices, and their patients. Physicians and medical facilities can help their patients, and themselves, if patients are making effective Medicare choices.
Retirement planning rightfully begins here: healthcare expenses can drain the retirement savings if healthcare costs are not properly taken into account. To think that portfolio returns will exceed the potential expenses, should extensive healthcare costs be incurred, is ignoring financial market reality. To think that estate planning documents will save more than the costs of potential out-of-pocket expenses is ignoring legislative reality. Elder care attorneys/financial planners will serve their clients best by helping them with potential healthcare costs first.

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
