Section 55, Laboratory Services: Rate Determination Initiation Notice

The Department initiated a Rate Determination Process* for MaineCare Benefits Manual Chapter II, Section 55: Laboratory Services. Reimbursement rates are  determined pursuant to P.L. 2025, Ch. 388, which intends to bring parity and consistency across these services by benchmarking reimbursement to 72.4% of Maine Medicare. The Department will conduct this rate determination process in accordance with Maine statute. 

A follow up notice with opportunities for members of the public and interested parties to participate by providing feedback and comments is forthcoming.

You may track all of our Rate Reform work on the MaineCare Rate System Reform webpage.

For questions on this process, please contact Julieanna Rettew, MaineCare’s Project Lead.
