Rebecca de Camara

Rebecca de Camara is the Medicaid and Health Services Executive Director. In this role, she oversees the agency divisions that provide physical health coverage, behavioral health and developmental disability services, and senior and long-term care services. Rebecca began her career in human services 30 years ago as a behavioral health direct care worker, advancing to provide case management, supported employment, and intensive community-based treatment services for those with serious behavioral health disorders who would otherwise be institutionalized. Through this work, she experienced firsthand the limitations and challenges within the existing public health system.

In her previous role as a DPHHS administrator, Rebecca gained extensive experience working on high-profile initiatives such as the Behavioral Health System for Future Generations Commission and managing complex projects within Montana Medicaid, such as Governor Gianforte’s Healing and Ending Addiction through Recovery and Treatment Initiative, both historic investments into behavioral health services, all while maintaining the daily operations of a Medicaid division.
