Update: Dirigo Choice Health Insurance
On September 1, 2007 the Dirigo Health Agency capped enrollment in the Dirigo Choice health
insurance program. This is because of limited funding for the program. People currently in the program
will not be affected by this change. It only means that new people, who need a subsidy to pay for
the insurance can not come onto the program at this time. Exceptions can be made for new employees of
employers who currently offer Dirigo Choice to their workers. People who are above 300% of the federal
poverty level are still able to enroll since they do not get a subsidy.
The Maine Legislature will consider future funding for the Dirigo program when it starts up again
in January 2008.
Please call the Dirigo Health Agency
for information about enrolling in Dirigo. You may be able
to get on a waiting list for the program, even if you can’t get onto the program now.
