Add-on Rates for Providers Predominantly Delivering Family Planning Services
Effective July 1, 2022, the Department has implemented new add-on rates in MIHMS for certain Family Planning Services delivered by eligible providers, per Maine P.L. 2021, ch. 738 An Act To Protect the Reproductive Rights and Freedoms of Maine People. In alignment with this statute, only providers engaged primarily in the delivery of sexual and reproductive health care services, as described in 42 United States Code, Section 1396d(a)(4)(C) are eligible to bill for these add-on rates.
The table below shows the add-on rate amounts. The add-on rates do not change the underlying reimbursement amounts (base rates) for these procedure codes.

For all billing for services with add-on rates since July 1, 2022:
Please ensure you bill the “total rate” amounts as listed in the fee schedules linked below for the indicated dates of service. The total rates are equal to the base rates for the indicated time period plus the add-on rates as listed in the table above.
Billing for claims with dates of service from July 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022:
Please adjust any claims with dates of service from July 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022 that you billed at a lower rate than the “total rate” for the rates implemented with a July 1, 2022 effective date listed on this provider fee schedule. Providers have 120 days from the date of this notice to submit corrected adjustments, so please focus on the older dates of service first. If you billed at or above the total rates, MaineCare will adjust your claims and no action is needed.
