As previously noticed on June 5, 2025, MaineCare is increasing reimbursement rates through a COLA for certain services that were originally scheduled for January 1, 2025.

We implemented the rates for the following sections of policy effective July 1, 2025, as planned:

Adult Family Care Services

Consumer Directed Attendant Services

13

Targeted Case Management Services

17

Community Support Services

19

HCBS for the Elderly and Adults with Disabilities

26

Day Health Services

28 

Rehabilitative and Community Support Services for Children with Cognitive Impairments and Functional Limitations

96

Private Duty Nursing and Personal Care Services

The implementation of the newly effective rates has been temporarily delayed for the following sections of policy. The Department requires additional time to make these updates, and we anticipate implementation this month.

18

HCBS for Adults with Brain Injury

20

HCBS for Adults with Other Related Conditions

21

HCBS for Members with Intellectual Disabilities or Autism Spectrum Disorder

29

Support Services for Adults with Intellectual Disabilities or Autism Spectrum Disorder

Private Non-Medical Institutions, Appendix C, Residential Care Facilities (RCFs)*

*This COLA is specific only to a portion of the RCF rate- see our June 5, 2025, notice for more information.

We will send a notice when the new rates are implemented for the sections of policy experiencing a delay. Providers will be responsible for adjusting all affected claims for dates of service July 1, 2025, through the implementation date.
