ABOUT MACo HEALTH CARE TRUST

The Montana Association of Counties Health Care Trust (MACoHCT) was established

in 2005 to provide a cost-effective alternative for health insurance benefits for

counties and county-related boards and districts. By pooling the risk of a severe

financial loss over a larger population, premiums are generally more stable, limiting

the broad fluctuations that an individual county or district might otherwise

experience.

MACoHCT is able to combine the purchasing power of pool members when

negotiating plan services, such as claim management, case management, preferred

provider pricing, and reinsurance. The result is favorable coverage, terms,

conditions, and plan limits that are tailored to the needs of the county, board, or

district.

Plan services such as enrollment, risk control, and wellness programs are tailored

to the needs of county members. MACoHCT members have a significant voice in how

the pool is operated and how claims are resolved, since the policy-making board is

comprised of county commissioners. If claims controversies should arise, MACoHCT

members have the full support of MACo administration and the MACoHCT board.
