How Montana Seniors Can Get Ready for Medicare Annual Enrollment
The Medicare Annual Enrollment Period (AEP) is almost here! From October 15 to December 7, 2025, you’ll have the chance to review your Medicare coverage and make changes for the year ahead. But the key to making the right choice is preparation.
Here’s how Montana seniors can get ready:
1. Gather Your Current Information
Make a list of your prescriptions and dosages.
Write down the names of your doctors and specialists.
Review your current plan’s Annual Notice of Change (ANOC) — this shows what’s changing in 2025.
2. Think About Your Health and Budget
Did your health needs change in the last year?
Are you traveling more, or spending more time in rural Montana where networks may be limited?
Do you need extra benefits like dental, vision, or hearing?
3. Compare All Your Options
Every year, Medicare Advantage and Prescription Drug Plans change — and new plans may become available in your area. Even if you like your current plan, it’s worth reviewing what else is out there.
4. Avoid Last-Minute Stress
Waiting until December can be overwhelming. Reviewing early gives you time to ask questions, compare costs, and make a confident decision.
5. Get Expert Help — At No Cost
Medicare can feel complicated, but you don’t have to do it alone. At Golden Valley Medicare, we specialize in helping Montana seniors navigate their options with unbiased, personalized guidance.
