Montrose Regional Health to Host Free Medicare in a Nutshell Presentations

Doug Speedie, MD, to guide community members through upcoming Medicare changes

MONTROSE, Colo. (June 25, 2025) – Montrose Regional Health (MRH) is offering a series of free community presentations to help residents navigate upcoming changes to Medicare.

 Starting January 1, 2026, MRH will no longer be an in-network provider for Humana Medicare Advantage plans. These sessions will help individuals prepare for the change, whether they are new to Medicare, reviewing their current plan, or seeking clarity on coverage.

• Monday, June 30 | 4:30 to 6:30 p.m.
• Wednesday, Aug. 13 | 10 a.m. to noon
• Monday, Sept. 29 | 4:30 to 6:30 p.m.
