In coordination with the National Breast & Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program and the Centers for Medicaid Services (CMS), the MBCHP has updated the approved codes and rates effective July 1, 2024.
Effective January 1, 2024, MaineCare has updated the Section 55 rates shown below. These new rates were implemented for billing on June 6, 2024. The full fee schedule can be viewed on the Rate Setting page of the Health PAS Online Portal.
Earlier this month, MaineCare issued supplemental payments to nine hospitals rewarding the high levels of primary care utilization for MaineCare members in their Hospital Service Areas (HSAs). The table below shows how the top eight HSAs, which include nine hospitals, surpassed the statewide average of 57.5% MaineCare members within the HSA with a primary care visit in 2023. This sub-pool, totaling $600,000 annually, supports hospitals that partner with a MaineCare Accountable Community.
MaineCare has posted a clarifying document to supplement the information originally presented at the June 11, 2024, public rate forum for Hospital Services.

The Maine CDC is raising awareness of CMV, the most common infectious cause of birth defects in the United States. About 1 out of 5 babies with congenital CMV infection will have birth defects or other long-term health problems, such as hearing loss.
See the social media toolkit, used by health care providers and individuals seeking to promote prevention of CMV. Together we can bring about more awareness to decrease the risk of pregnant women and individuals contracting CMV in Maine.
