Blue Cross cuts back on Medicare Advantage for 7,500 rural Montanans

Blue Cross Blue Shield of Montana sent notices to nearly 7,500 residents in 30 counties statewide saying it will no longer offer Medicare Advantage in 2018, with officials citing lack of service and costs.

The move has prompted one Great Falls insurance agent to say it’s another blow for health care in rural counties.
