As Medicare enrollment approaches for millions turning 65 in 2025, a new publication from Joshua David Medicare offers essential guidance to help enrollees avoid costly mistakes. Titled Medicare Breakdown: The Alphabet Soup of Medicare , the guidebook by healthcare experts Francois Lodonou and Joshua David Shinn outlines the seven most common errors individuals make when entering the Medicare system.

Among the most critical issues covered are enrollment timing, misunderstandings about supplemental coverage, and overlooked financial assistance programs. The guide emphasizes the consequences of missing the Initial Enrollment Period, which can trigger permanent penalties, including surcharges on Part B and Part D premiums.

In addition, the resource explains the narrow six-month window to secure Medigap coverage without undergoing medical underwriting. Enrolling in Medicare Part B too early-while still covered under a large group plan-can also result in wasted premiums and forfeiture of key Medigap protections.

The guide also draws attention to underutilized financial aid programs such as Extra Help, which can significantly reduce drug costs for low-income individuals. Eligibility varies by state, with some thresholds extending up to $4,453 in monthly income.

A major point of confusion addressed in the book is the distinction between Medicare Advantage (Part C) and Medigap plans. Although Advantage plans may offer lower premiums, they also come with network limitations and higher out-of-pocket costs, which can exceed $11,000 annually.

The publication further warns of the dangers of not securing additional coverage for services not included in Medicare, such as long-term care or specific cancer treatments. Annual review of Medicare Part D plans is also urged, given yearly changes to drug formularies and premiums.

According to the authors, "Don't buy a plan for the premium - buy it for the value." Their work is intended to help individuals make informed decisions that align with long-term health and financial stability.

The guide is now available at no cost through the official website of Joshua David Medicare: https://www.medicarewithjosh.com/
