A model in Montana: ensuring access to care.
Montana's medical assistance facility (MAF) demonstration project may provide a model for other states facing problems in maintaining access to primary health care in sparsely populated areas. Under the state's guidelines, MAFs provide treatment to ill or injured persons before transporting them to hospitals and inpatient care for persons needing it for no longer than 96 hours.
