Inmate Medical Program

Are inmate medical costs draining your county budgets?

MACo is proud to partner with NACo and Correctional Risk Services (CRS) to offer two programs to help Montana counties contain the costs of medical care for county inmates.

Under the Claims Administration Management program, CRS will perform claims administration management for all county inmates housed in a county jail, which includes reviewing inmate medical bills for accuracy, and to ensure all discounts are applied.

Under the Inmate Excess Medical Insurance program, CRS will provide inmate excess medical insurance for county inmates. After payment of the initial $10,000 deductible, the insurance will pay the next $240,000 in medical costs for an inmate, per policy year.

For more information, please contact Sheryl Wood via telephone at 406-449-4360 or via email at swood@mtcounties.org.

NEW!!! To help interpret and determine payment responsibility and timeframes, CRS and MACo have developed a new form for you.  It can be found here.

Following initial enrollment, CRS will issue monthly invoices. Counties will be billed in arrears for premium payments.

Please be sure to submit your invoice and your monthly premium check to MACo by the 15th!
