An Act Regarding Mainecare Waiting Lists
LD 1634 limits waiting times for MaineCare services to six months. It requires the MaineCare program to ensure enrolled individuals do not wait longer than six months for covered services after requesting them. If a provider's waiting list exceeds this limit, the Department of Health and Human Services must submit a corrective action plan to the health committee within three months. This bill directly affects MaineCare enrollees seeking covered services and sets a clear timeframe for addressing excessive wait times.
