Recent Federal Updates to MaineCare, SNAP, and CoverME.gov
On July 4, H.R. 1 -- Budget Reconciliation was signed into law by the President. There are currently no changes to MaineCare benefits. MaineCare members should feel free to see enrolled healthcare providers, receive covered services, and fill prescriptions they receive through MaineCare. There will be changes to Medicaid (MaineCare), nutrition assistance (SNAP), and health insurance Marketplace (CoverME.gov) over the next several months. The links below explain many of the changes in detail, including timelines and resources.  We are in the process of creating more materials about the changes and will share them soon.
