Who We Are

Bridged Health Alliance is the newly established health and wellness benefits trust from Montana House Bill 332 (2023). Bridged Health Alliance is the formal name of the new trust developed by the Montana Schools Insurance Alliance (MTSIA). Henceforth, MTSIA will be known as Bridged Health Alliance.

Bridged empowers Montana public school systems of all sizes with higher-quality, lower-cost health, wellness, and pharmaceutical benefits responsive to the unique needs of employees and beneficiaries of Montana’s public education systems.

At its core, Bridged provides an avenue for Montana school districts to collaborate and achieve important goals:

01 Year-over-year renewal stability.

You can leverage a much larger insurance risk pool and renewal methodology that focuses on a balance of fairness and consistency to experience higher levels of predictability and stability in health insurance rates.

02 Lower fixed costs.

More efficient purchasing will leverage the size of multiple districts to secure more advantageous pricing for a third-party administrator, pharmacy benefits manager, and stop-loss insurance, to name a few.

03 Improve the overall health and wellness of Montana’s school employees.

Healthier employees will result in lower overall costs for schools, allowing you to focus on what’s most important: the education and future success of Montana’s children and youths.

04 Maximize return.

Capitalize on the Legislature’s $40 million investment in a manner that financially benefits Montana schools and your employees. Let’s invest more money back in district budgets and back in teachers’ pockets where it belongs.
