MaineCare Services is pleased to announce that we are now accepting applications for participation in MaineCare’s PCPlus program. PCPlus is a MaineCare primary care model that gives 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.

PUBLIC REVIEW AND COMMENT
This is a correction to the bulletin sent on October 28, 2022, regarding rate updates for Hospice Services. The previous message incorrectly stated that the rates affected Section 90 instead of Section 43.
On September 28, 2022, some rates for Chapter 1, Section 43 have been updated in MIHMS effective October 1, 2022, and are now available for viewing on the Health PAS Online Portal.
