Rate Determination Initiation Notice for Doula Services
The Department has initiated a Rate Determination Process* for Doula Services. This is a newly covered service with the section of the MaineCare Benefits Manual to be determined. Rates are being determined pursuant to LD 1523 “Resolve, to Develop MaineCare Coverage for Doula Services” and in alignment with Maine’s participation in the Transforming Maternal Health (TMaH) Model, led by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.
There will be opportunities throughout the Rate Determination process for interested parties and members of the public to provide feedback and comments. Initially, this work will focus on gathering input for Doula Service Model design through the newly formed MaineCare Doula Council. Doula Council meetings will be open to the public on a periodic basis and we will send notice of public meetings via MaineCare e-messages.
You may track all of our Rate Reform work on the MaineCare Rate System Reform webpage.
For questions on this process, please contact Maggie Jansson, MaineCare’s Maternal and Infant Health Coordinator and Project Lead.
*This notice is sent pursuant to Rate Reform law.
