This is an updated and expanded guide to help retirees understand Medicare and all its parts and choices. I was trying to help my mom recently navigate all the choices and it is extremely confusing and complicated. This book at least helps frame out the various options and pitfalls. There is also a glossary and frequently asked questions. He also gives the watch-out of brokers, agents and their commissions. This book will help you be a savvy consumer who can ask the right questions when choosing the best plan for you or your loved ones. There is also a list of websites to find out more information. This is an invaluable guide and helped me with my mom's annual enrollment.

Thank you to Netgalley and Simon & Schuster for an ARC and I voluntarily left this review.

GET WHAT'S YOURS FOR MEDICARE by Philip Moeller is subtitled "Maximize Your Coverage, Minimize Your Costs." And although this is a revised and updated edition, it would still be difficult to cover this complex topic adequately in an up-to-date manner in a book. Better to consider this text as a very useful guide and to then turn to advisors who work regularly in this area. Granted, those individuals will tend to push people towards Advantage plans, but they can more thoroughly investigate individual situations and changing offerings. Also, get an idea yourself by using some of the online tools (e.g., comparing plans) available through Medicare.gov. Still, "boots on the ground" are quite helpful, be it friends and peers conducting their own investigations or nursing homes helping to publicize innovative, helpful plans for their residents. Moeller is a recognized authority in this area and has collaborated in the past with PBS NewsHour economics correspondent Paul Solman.

Moeller recently was interviewed on Morningstar's Long View, a podcast co-hosed by Christine Benz who in turn has written a recent book titled How to Retire: 20 Lessons for a Happy, Successful, and Wealthy Retirement. She has a companion How to Retire podcast on morningstar.
