AUGUSTA, ME – Mending Health, formerly known as Taro Health, has notified the Maine Bureau of
Insurance that it will no longer offer health insurance as of January 1, 2027.
Mending Health’s approximately 1,100 members will keep their health plans through the end of their
existing plan year.
Individuals/families who obtained Mending coverage through CoverME.gov, or who purchased a plan
directly from Mending Health, can select a new plan with another health insurance company during the
annual open enrollment period beginning November 1, 2026. New coverage will take effect January 1,
2027.
Small employer groups currently insured through Mending Health will also remain covered through the end
of their plan year. As renewal dates approach, employers are encouraged to work with their insurance
broker or agent to explore options with other insurers.
In Maine’s market for individuals/families and for small employer groups, four insurers submitted proposed
rates to the Bureau of Insurance on June 5th for 2027 coverage: Anthem Health, Community Health
Options, Harvard Pilgrim Health Care, and UnitedHealthcare. The Bureau is currently reviewing the
proposed rates, which are expected to be finalized in August.
