Earlier this year MaineCare conducted a survey of Behavioral Health and Other Services providers. We used the provider responses to create draft rate models for the services as part of the rate determination process. We outlined this process in a bulletin on April 22, 2022. This message outlines the next step in the process.
PUBLIC REVIEW AND COMMENT

The next step in the appeal process would be an administrative hearing before the Hearings Unit. The Recommended and Final Hearing Decisions are available at the Administrative Hearings Unit’s Provider Appeal Decisions’ section of their webpage.
