People who lost Medicaid urged to look at full scope of options

Tim Noonan grabs a number to head inside to wait for his turn at the Office of Public Assistance in Kalispell. He’s a mental health worker at Logan Health and he’s there to work on restoring Medicaid coverage for two of his young patients.

“That's why I'm showing up here, because I tried a long phone call twice on Friday. And both times I was on the phone, probably like 40 minutes each, trying to get through and talk to someone,” Noonan said.

Noonan’s patients are among the more than 112,000 people in Montana who have lost Medicaid since April of 2023,  according to the Montana Department for Public Health and Human Services.
