Maine Medicaid State Plan Methodology
The Maine Medicaid State Plan outlines how the Medicaid program is implemented in Maine. The State Plan covers many topics, from program administration to reimbursement, and is updated regularly through State Plan Amendments. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) is the federal agency responsible for overseeing the Medicaid program in each state, including approval of changes to the State Plan.
