5 Days Until Medicare Annual Enrollment — Here’s Why You Should Act Now
The countdown is on — Medicare’s Annual Enrollment Period (AEP) begins October 15 and runs through December 7, 2025.
If you’ve been putting off reviewing your Medicare coverage, now is the time to do it. Waiting until AEP begins means you’ll be competing with a flood of calls, ads, and last-minute appointments — and that can make an already confusing process feel overwhelming.
At Golden Valley Medicare, our goal is to make sure Montana seniors head into AEP prepared, confident, and clear on their best options.
1. Plans Are Changing for 2026
Premiums, copays, drug coverage, and provider networks all shift year to year. Even if you liked your plan in 2025, the same plan could look very different in 2026. A quick review now can help you avoid unexpected costs later.
2. Benefits Are Expanding in Montana
Many plans are adding new features — from dental and vision to hearing and wellness benefits. Comparing your options could unlock savings and extra coverage you didn’t have before.
3. Your Situation Might Have Changed Too
New prescriptions, a new doctor, or even a change in your health can mean your current plan no longer fits your needs. Reviewing early gives you time to find a plan that matches where you are today.
4. Early Reviews Mean Less Stress
The last few weeks of AEP can be chaotic. Reviewing now means you’ll have time to understand your choices, ask questions, and enroll with confidence — not pressure.
