What’s at Stake
Vital Health Coverage for Low-Income, Working Montanans
Montana Medicaid helps low-income, working Montanans who have no other option for health coverage. Affordable, accessible primary and preventive care services improve health and keep costs down for everyone.
Rural and Critical Access Hospitals
Rural hospitals are a lifeline for many across our state. More people having access to health coverage through Medicaid provides important revenue for Montana’s smallest and most rural hospitals, helping to ensure they can stay open and provide much-needed access to care for everyone.
Meeting Critical Mental Health Needs
Under our current Montana Medicaid program, funding for substance use disorder (SUD) has increased five-fold, the number of state-authorized SUD treatment providers has doubled and major funding for ongoing mental health treatment was secured and approved by the legislature.
Support for Our Medical Providers
The health coverage provided under the current Medicaid program has helped stabilize healthcare providers of all kinds through additional reimbursement for important services. That means the providers our families rely on – from doctors and dentists to counselors and clinics – can keep their doors open and wait times shorter.
A Stronger Montana Economy
Medicaid saves money for both patients and the public by allowing Medicaid recipients easier access to primary care, which means they avoid expensive emergency room visits down the line. Drastically changing Medicaid would have negative impacts to Montana’s state budget, our workforce and economy.
