For owners of the 2026 edition · No charge

Medicare changes every year. Premiums, IRMAA brackets, the Part D out-of-pocket cap, the state birthday-rule list, the Extra Help income limits — all of it shifts when CMS publishes the next year's figures each October. The 2027 edition of Turning 65, No Agent Required will reflect every change.
If you bought the 2026 edition on Kindle, the 2027 edition is free for you. Drop your email below and you'll get a download link the day it publishes — usually mid-October when CMS releases the new numbers.
Why this exists
A Medicare book published in April is half-dead by November.
Most self-published Medicare guides on Amazon were written one year, never touched again, and are now telling readers about the donut hole or 2018 IRMAA brackets. The reviews on those books are full of "good information but the numbers are wrong" and "chapter 3 references rules that no longer apply."
The Medicare Map exists to be the opposite of that. The book is a 2026 edition because the figures in it are current through April 2026 — and the 2027 edition will exist because the figures will change. If you bought the book once, you should not have to buy it again to keep getting accurate information.
So: register your copy, get the update on launch day, and the next time someone you know turns 65 you can hand them a current edition with confidence.
A few fair questions
Before you sign up.
I bought the book on Kindle. Do I get the update automatically through Amazon?
Sometimes Amazon pushes minor updates to existing buyers, but their policy is inconsistent — full new editions are usually treated as new books, and you'd be asked to buy again. Registering here is the only way to guarantee you get the 2027 edition the day it publishes, at no charge.
How will you know I actually own the 2026 edition?
I won't, and I'm not going to ask. The honor system is fine for this. The economics of a senior education book don't justify a verification step that would make readers feel surveilled. If you bought the book and you'd like the update, register. If you didn't buy the book and you'd like the update, also register — the cost to me is one extra email.
What email will it come from?
From jesse@themedicaremap.com, sent through Kit (the email service this site uses). Add the address to your contacts so it doesn't end up in spam, especially if you're on a stricter email provider.
Will you sell my email or share it with anyone?
No. I don't sell email lists, and I don't share data with insurance carriers, lead-generation companies, or third-party advertisers. The Medicare Map's editorial position is that the lead-list economy is what's wrong with the Medicare industry — I'd be a hypocrite to feed it. See Privacy policy for the long version.
What if I just want the Sunday newsletter, not the edition update?
Sign up at the free guide page instead — that's the standard path into the newsletter. This page is specifically for book buyers who want to be notified when the next edition is out.
Last thing
Register, then forget about it.
You'll get one email when the 2027 edition publishes — typically October or early November. Until then, the Sunday newsletter is the only thing that lands in your inbox. Two minutes now, no homework later.
