One of the tasks associated with MaineCare’s 1115 SUD waiver is the “establishment of a Utilization Management (UM) approach for appropriate access and level of care for SUD services, including an independent process for reviewing placement in SUD residential treatment”. This UM is a component of Maine’s Implementation Plan and Special Terms & Conditions approved by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) for this waiver and was implemented in July 2023.
