Annual 1115 Substance Use Disorder (SUD) Waiver Post Award Forum
On December 22, 2020, Maine DHHS announced the Center’s for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMSs) approval of MaineCare’s waiver request, which lifts the federal restriction for residential or inpatient SUD treatment programs beyond 16 beds. The Implementation Plan was approved on July 26, 2021, which allows MaineCare to begin collecting federal funds for residential treatment facilities that expand their capacity.
