BlueCross BlueShield of Montana has been awarded a three-year contract to administer the state's employees health plan for 28,000 people.
The procurement process began in March and six vendors submitted bids. The state said it expects to save $28 million through BCBS over the next three years, according to a Sept. 15 news release.
Enrollment will begin Oct. 23, and BCBS will have the option to renew the contract for up to 10 years after the initial three.
