Chapter Number and Rule Title: 10-144 C.M.R. Chapter 101, MaineCare Benefits Manual (“MBM”), Chapter II, Section 13, Targeted Case Management Services, and Chapter III, Section 13, Targeted Case Management Services
Concise Summary:
The adopted rule expands eligibility for Targeted Case Management (TCM) for Members Experiencing Homelessness and for Members in Carceral Settings and makes changes to assure compliance with the state of Maine’s 12/20/24 settlement agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice regarding children’s behavioral health services (U.S. Dist. Ct. D. Me., Case No. 1:24-cv-00315-SDN). The adopted rule relocates the reimbursement methodology for TCM services from Chapter III, Section 13, Targeted Case Management (TCM) Services to Chapter II, Section 13. The Department accomplishes these changes by repealing Chapters II and III, Section 13, and replacing Ch. II, Section 13.
