Changes are Coming to MaineCare

2023-04-07T09:34:22-04:00

During the Covid-19 pandemic, most MaineCare members could keep their MaineCare even if they experienced changes that would have otherwise made them ineligible. This was called “continous coverage.” Continuous coverage ended April 1, 2023. People with MaineCare will need to update their information to see if they can keep their coverage. Please read this announcement from the Maine's Consumer Assistance Program for important dates and what mail you should be expecting as a current MaineCare member. If you need assistance navigating these changes, please call us at 338-6809 and ask to speak to a Resource Advocate.
