1 in 10 Montanans have lost coverage
In the last year, more than 125,000 Montanans have lost Medicaid and Healthy Montana Kids, but we have an opportunity to get these folks covered again. Anyone who lost Medicaid or Healthy Montana Kids can still enroll in health insurance through Healthcare.gov through November 30, 2024. Montanans who still qualify for Medicaid or Healthy Montana Kids can enroll anytime.

Health insurance coverage is good for individuals, families, and Montana communities. Health insurance helps to keep Montanans healthy, but also strengthens local economies and keeps local clinics and hospitals open.
