The goal of the case managers is to deliver comprehensive outpatient health and support services to meet the HIV- related needs of individuals and families with HIV. Eight case management sites in the state serve the governor's five planning regions. Contact the Montana HIV/STD Program at (406)444-3565 or the contact number for your area.

Waiting List? - Sometimes a state has a waiting list people have to stay on until spaces become available. Check to see if there is a waiting list for the program by contacting them directly. According to NASTAD's most recent ADAP Watch Montana does not have a waiting list.

You may need to try a Patient Assistance Program or apply for Medicaid or Medicare or private insurance. Do not ever drop your private insurance without first seeing if your state will cover part or the whole premium, especially if you have children. Please do not send completed Patient Assistance Program applications to The Access Project.
