We are not a Montana state agency, not HealthCare.gov, and not affiliated with any government marketplace. Health Enrollment Center is operated by Sprinter Insurance Agency LLC.
Montana uses the federal marketplace at HealthCare.gov and runs a state reinsurance program that helps hold down individual-market premiums. It expanded Medicaid — made permanent by a 2025 law that removed the program's sunset — so lower-income adults are routed to Medicaid and marketplace subsidies begin above that line. About 73,000 residents are covered through the marketplace, and roughly 89% receive a premium tax credit.
The 2026 carriers are Blue Cross Blue Shield of Montana, Mountain Health CO-OP, and PacificSource, all with broad reach across a very large, rural state. The population clusters in a handful of towns, each with a dominant system: Billings has Billings Clinic and Intermountain's St. Vincent, Missoula has Providence and Community Medical Center, Great Falls has Benefis, and Kalispell has Logan Health.
We're licensed in Montana and quote its carriers directly. Below is how coverage works here — where Medicaid ends and marketplace subsidies begin — plus the towns and situations we help with most.
