It’s that time of year again when mailboxes fill up with Medicare brochures and TV ads talk about prescription plans. From October 15 through December 7, Medicare’s open enrollment period gives folks across Montana a chance to review, compare, and make changes to their health or drug coverage for the coming year. While it may feel overwhelming, taking the time to double-check your plan could save you hundreds of dollars in 2026. Local pharmacists and healthcare staff remind everyone: even if you’re happy with your plan, don’t skip the review....
