Part of the cautionary tale about thalidomide illustrates the fact that Medicare alone is often not enough to persuade doctors to perform non-emergency treatment.

In the Medicare Advantage Minute, we learn that: “The Great Disruption is coming for Medicare Advantage”!

In “Your Medicare Benefits 2024” we take a brief look at Cognitive Assessment and Care Plan Services.

If you have failed to enroll in Part B of Medicare, the General Enrollment period can bail you out. We enumerate the three big reasons people may end up in that predicament.

Douglas B. Jones Author: Medicare for the Lazy Man

Doug Jones burst forth from Oklahoma like a prairie tornado, born of an Omaha Beach victor and the shortest-serving Miss Oklahoma in history. He was such an accomplished student that nine years of undergrad studies eventually earned him a BA degree from the University of Arizona.
Having been branded at birth with the John Hancock Signature, he became the third generation of a life insurance dynasty founded in 1920. Eventually, a genuine dedication to health insurance conferred black sheep status, causing him to strike out on his own.
Decades later, friends began to pester him about Medicare, angling for free advice. After a period of deep contemplation and reflection, Doug arrived at conclusions and formed some opinions that place him squarely at odds with many other Medicare experts.
Thus was born Medicare for the Lazy Man!
