Some MaineCare members may need to pay for part of the cost of some MaineCare services when they receive care. What you pay is called a copayment, or copay.
MaineCare turned off copays for certain services during the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency (PHE) to help people continue to get care they needed during the pandemic. In May 2023, when the PHE ended, MaineCare turned copays back on for some services, but kept other copays turned off. Starting October 1, 2024, MaineCare is turning back on some additional copays and ending other copays.
