# Montana Medicaid Coverage for Addiction Treatment Services
### ABOUT MONTANA MEDICAID
Montana Medicaid is committed to providing access to essential healthcare benefits for Montana’s residents, prioritizing those in the greatest need while encouraging all beneficiaries to participate actively in their healthcare journey. Eligibility for Montana Medicaid is extended to Montana residents who are in need of healthcare assistance and fall into the low-income category. This includes pregnant individuals, those responsible for a child under 18, those with disabilities, and seniors aged 65 or older. To qualify for Medicaid, individuals must meet certain income and asset requirements and other eligibility criteria. The Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services (DPHHS) determines eligibility and manages the Medicaid [program](https://www.montanamedicaidworks.org/).
