There are thousands of children and adults who are eligible for but not enrolled in MaineCare full-benefit coverage plans.
You can make a difference by helping these individuals, who are entitled to a range of benefits under these programs, get the health care
coverage they need.
What will you learn?
This workshop will give you the tools to offer information and application assistance to individuals and families applying for MaineCare
coverage. Updates will be provided on MaineCare, including: services covered, costs, eligibility guidelines, and the application process.
This workshop provides updates on Maine's
publicly funded health insurance programs including services covered, cost,
eligibility guidelines and the application process. You'll also hear about
Maine's new prescription drug discount program, Maine Rx Plus, including
eligibility guidelines for the program and expected savings to consumers.
This workshop will also provide a brief overview of DirigoChoice; Maine's prescription drug plans (the Low Cost Drugs for the Elderly and
Disabled [DEL] program and Maine Rx Plus); and other health care coverage programs.
If workshop attendees are interested in how MaineCare differs for seniors and the disabled, or how the Medicare Savings Program
(Medicare Buy-In) works together with MaineCare, these topics can also be briefly covered in the training.
Customized workshops are available upon request on a fee-for-service basis. Please call Consumers for Affordable Health Care for more
information.
