From DHHS:
MaineCare Comprehensive Rate System Evaluation Phase 2 Stakeholder Engagement This is a notice regarding the next phase of stakeholder engagement activities for MaineCare’s Comprehensive Rate System Evaluation, which are scheduled to begin December 2, 2020, and will serve as an opportunity for MaineCare providers to share comments on the adequacy of MaineCare rate amounts and impact these rates may have on access to services. This will include feedback on the Phase 1 benchmarking report, which will be released before Thanksgiving. We will send out a notification when the benchmarking report is available on our website. To prepare for the meetings, we ask that participants review the report prior to their session(s) and think about any important factors that were not accounted for in the report that you would like to note for consideration. The meeting schedule is below (please note that some groupings have changed since the Phase 1 meetings). Information about how to register for these meetings will be forthcoming.
