Provider Rates & Services Commission

The 2005 Legislature created this commission to advise the Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services (DPHHS) concerning provider services, costs, and reimbursement rates.

The commission is to assist the department in providing a regular, predictable, and equitable mechanism under which rates can be established for contracted services, provided in a community setting, for people who are developmentally disabled, mentally ill, very elderly, or very young. (MCA 53-10-201)

The commission is made up of providers, consumers or their family members, legislators, and legislative and executive budget and program staff. Members are appointed by the department director for two-year terms, with the first term being staggered between two- and four-year terms.

For more information, contact Gail Briese-Zimmer, DPHHS Office of Planning, Coordination, and Analysis, at (406) 444-9740 or gbriesezimmer@mt.gov.
