Who Are We?

The MMIA Employee Benefits program is a self-funded health benefit pool covering the employees, retirees and families of 90 Montana cities and towns. MMIA is a local government entity, not an insurance company. Participants' monthly premiums and the cities’ and towns’ contributions go into a pool that is used to pay for medical, prescription, dental, and vision claims. MMIA contracts with various vendors to process claims and offer cost-saving services to the pool and its participants.

A Bit of History

In the mid-1980s, government agencies were experiencing substantial rate increases or cancellations of their liability and workers compensation coverages. Seeing that a solution from private industry was not an option, the cities and towns of Montana came together to create their own solution, forming the MMIA in 1986. Decades later, the MMIA has successfully grown in scope, expertise, and stability for the benefit of our Montana cities and towns. In 2004, Montana’s cities and towns asked if MMIA could create a similar group-funded health coverage pool and the Employee Benefits program was born.
