Montana Medicaid and Healthy Montana Kids Enrollment & Redetermination

Health insurance can be confusing, especially if you are transitioning from Montana Medicaid, but free, unbiased, confidential help is available. Cover Montana can help you get questions answered and get you enrolled.

COVER MONTANA

• Cover Montana (facilitated through the Montana Primary Care Association) has partnered with DPHHS (and the federal government) to help explain the changes coming to Montana Medicaid and to help individuals update their contact information.
• The Cover Montana project works to connect Montanans who have questions about enrolling in health insurance options with a local enrollment assistant who can walk them through the process. This is largely done through the Cover Montana website; see Cover Montana—Connecting you to health insurance coverage.
• Worried about losing coverage because you think you will no longer qualify for Medicaid or for other reasons? Cover Montana can also help explain and enroll you in other affordable, insurance options.
• Call the Cover Montana Help Line at 844.682.6837 or find someone local who can help you through the process.  The help is free and confidential.

OUR OFFICE—CSI Insurance Consumer Services (ICS) 

• Our office—the CSI, is the state regulator of the insurance and securities industries.  For individual coverage, Montana consumers use the federally run exchange (the HealthCare Marketplace) at healthcare.gov.  The Insurance Commissioner regulates plans offered both on and outside the exchange.
• Insurance Consumer Services (ICS) has staff dedicated to answering your insurance-related questions about the PHE, resolving issues or complaints against insurance companies, or other general questions. To contact ICS, call 406.444.2040.
• ICS can also help you find resources and information about healthcare coverage options. 
• With the unwinding of continuous enrollment in Montana Medicaid or HMK, individuals who no longer qualify for public assistance may have other healthcare coverage options such as coverage through the Health Care Marketplace. For more information about the Marketplace, visit healthcare.gov or call the Marketplace Call Center at 800.318.2596 (TTY: 855.889.4325).
