AI Summary
This bill requires the Maine Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) to update its MaineCare (Maine's Medicaid program) reimbursement rates for non-hospital-based detoxification services by January 1, 2026. Specifically, the bill mandates that DHHS amend its rules to ensure that reimbursement rates for medically supervised withdrawal services are set at a minimum of $594.38 per day. Detoxification services are critical medical interventions that help individuals safely withdraw from substances like drugs or alcohol under professional medical supervision. By establishing a minimum reimbursement rate, the bill aims to support substance use disorder treatment facilities and potentially improve access to these essential medical services by ensuring facilities receive adequate compensation for providing detoxification care.
