At the direction of Governor Janet Mills, the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) has developed and executed a variety of programs to address the shortage of qualified health care workers in Maine. These initiatives were developed in collaboration with health system leaders to grow the talent pipeline and develop new workforce models to advance health equity and health care access in rural and other under-served populations. This work is centered around three key areas of focus: Recruitment, training and career ladders, and growing the provider pipeline.
Earlier this year, the Department made changes to Section 28 rates and modifier combinations as a result of recent rate studies conducted in relation to P.L. 2021 Ch. 398, Pt. AAAA; Ch. 635, Pt JJJ; and Ch. 639.
