MaineCare Services is pleased to announce we are accepting applications for participation in MaineCare’s Primary Care Plus (PCPlus) program. PCPlus is a MaineCare primary care model giving Primary Care Providers (PCPs) greater flexibility and incentives to meet MaineCare members’ healthcare needs by transitioning away from a volume-based (fee-for-service) payment system toward population-based payments tied to cost and quality-related outcomes. Participation in PCPlus is voluntary for PCPs and PCPs must apply to participate.
