Amazon Book Reviews
This book really helped me to understand how this system works and pitfalls to avoid. Highly recommend reading the book. Read more on Amazon
You can tell these folks have been helping lots of Medicare beneficiaries for a long time. The lessons learned are real and they synthesized their knowledge into a compact and pithy guidebook. No doubt their resources and tools they make available to their clients are highly useful and valuable. It is notable that they have done their research beyond their home state of Texas, citing differing Medigap regulations and product designs in the exception states. I highly recommend this book to beneficiaries or soon to be beneficiaries and their families. It will be time well spent going through from cover to cover. Read more on Amazon
