If you are the type of person that needs to read as much as you can on a topic to understand it, you might be tempted to buy a bunch of books on Medicare. At

Fair Square

, we are working to simplify and demystify the world of Medicare. A big part of that is our blog, where we pride ourselves on providing the most helpful information for beneficiaries at every stage of their journey.

In this blog post, we’ll show you some of the best bits of the Fair Square blog. Frankly, most of the key things to know about Medicare can be boiled down more simply into a blog post than a drawn-out book. But if you’re still interested, we will touch on some of the books on Medicare we recommend.

Why Understanding Medicare is Important

At Fair Square, we want to give you the tools to be your own best Medicare advocate. A lack of knowledge or confusion about Medicare can lead to less-than-ideal outcomes. For example, according to

KFF

, during the Medicare open enrollment period for 2020, only 3 out of 10 (29%) Medicare beneficiaries compared their current Medicare plan with other Medicare plans offered in their area. 
Having an awareness of what your options are and how your health needs and budget can affect your approach to Medicare can save you from some headaches, not to mention the thousands of dollars you might save. The best crash course you can take is a consultation with one of our Medicare experts by calling 888-376-2028. They can give you a full rundown of your plan and recommendations tailored to your specific circumstances.
If you want to do research on your own, you should check out the

Fair Square blog

. In the Medicare 101 section, we introduce some of the most critical topics to understanding the ins and outs of Medicare. In our section, Does Medicare Cover It? We answer the web’s most searched questions about what Medicare does and doesn’t cover.
