LC 2803 Legislature · 2025 Regular Session

Generally revise medicaid laws to reduce or eliminate waiting lists

This bill directs the Montana Medicaid department to take steps to reduce or eliminate waiting lists for covered health services. It requires the department to use administrative, programmatic, and funding tools such as adjusting reimbursement rates or applying for federal waivers to address these delays. The law specifically prioritizes waiting lists for senior and long-term care, behavioral health, dental services, family education support, and home-based services for people with developmental disabilities. Additionally, the department must submit an annual report to the legislature detailing current waiting list sizes, reduction efforts, and expected timelines for eliminating each list.
