Advocate for MaineCare Funding-Contact Your Legislators Today!
We urgently request your immediate action to contact your state representatives and senators, urging them to pass the supplemental budget to fund MaineCare. The failure to enact this budget jeopardizes essential services for MaineCare members and places undue financial strain on healthcare providers and small businesses due to delayed payments.
Recent Developments:
February 26, 2025: The department of Health and Human Services announced that, without the supplemental budget, MaineCare will begin capping payment cycles starting March 1, 2025. Payments will be processed on a "first in, first out" basis with weekly maximums, and payments exceeding $50,000 for hospitals, large DME suppliers, and out-of-state services will be held. Maine.gov
