Changes are Coming to MaineCare

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

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.
