Montana could still reach federal health officials' original goal of signing up 31,000 for coverage by the enrollment deadline tonight. Some may be eligible for extensions.

Insurers providing coverage through healthcare.gov say they have seen an increase in enrollments before the deadline.

By the end of February, 22,500 Montana residents signed up for insurance plans. The government originally projected 31,000 people would sign up by Monday's deadline.
