Montana gets $1m grant to examine state’s health-care system

The federal government has awarded Montana $1 million to design new models of paying for and delivering health care, with an eye toward improving quality and lowering costs.

Montana is one of 28 states receiving more than $665 million in Affordable Care Act grants to design and test these models, federal health officials announced Tuesday.

The Bullock administration said it will use at least part of the funding to create a Council on Healthcare Innovation and Reform, which will help create a "statewide health transformation plan."
