Timeline pushed back for Montana State Hospital Medicaid recertification
Montana State Hospital will not seek Medicaid and Medicare recertification until at least late 2025, delaying from an earlier projection. The Warm Springs facility lost its federal certification in April 2022 and with it federal reimbursements of about $7 million annually. Officials say building delays and a heavy reapplication process have pushed the timeline beyond 2024, keeping the state financing the hospital amid a tight budget.
