AI Summary
This bill directs the Maine Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) to modify its MaineCare Benefits Manual to establish a new reimbursement requirement for service providers. Specifically, the bill mandates that DHHS must reimburse at least 75% of any submitted claim for services within 90 days of receiving that claim. MaineCare is Maine's version of Medicaid, the state-federal health insurance program for low-income individuals, and this legislation aims to improve the speed and reliability of payments to vendors who provide services under this program. By setting a clear timeline and minimum reimbursement percentage, the bill seeks to ensure more predictable and timely financial compensation for healthcare and service providers who work with MaineCare, which could help maintain a stable network of service providers and reduce financial strain on these vendors.
