MaineCare Targeted Case Management Services Have Changed

Many MaineCare members with special health care needs have Case Managers. These Case Managers help members get medical, educational, vocational and other services needed to lead an independent and healthy life. For example, members with development disabilities, behavioral health issues, substance abuse, HIV, and other special health needs get this sort of help. This service is changing.

These changes are in effect now:

  • Members will only be allowed to have one Case Manager. Members will be able to choose which Case Manager they want to keep.
  • Members with chronic physical health conditions will now be able to get case management services.
  • Members will have to meet certain levels of need in order to get or keep a Case Manager. This means that some people who have gotten this service may no longer be eligible.

Please let Maine Equal Justice know if you run into any problems with getting or keeping this service. Contact us, or call 1-866-626-7059.
