Rate Determination Initiation Notice for Section 43, Hospice Services

The Department initiated a Rate Determination Process* for MaineCare Benefits Manual (MBM), Section 43: Hospice Services.

Reimbursement rates are being determined pursuant to P.L. 2025, Ch. 388. Opportunities to further align Hospice Services with Medicare requirements and improve access to Hospice care will be explored during the rate determination process.

Starting in early 2026, there will be opportunities throughout the Rate Determination process for interested parties to provide feedback and comments. You may track all Rate Reform work on the MaineCare Rate System Reform webpage.

For questions on this process, please contact Louise Secordel, MaineCare’s Delivery System Reform Project Lead.

*This notice is sent pursuant to Rate Reform law.
