Attention Section 43 Hospice Services Providers: Anticipated Electronic Visit Verification (EVV) Implementation Delayed Until July 1, 2024

Dec 01, 2023

As of March 15, 2023, MaineCare temporarily excluded hospice services from EVV requirements as a delayed enforcement of our approved State Plan requirements.

The Department anticipates adopting MaineCare Benefits Manual Ch. II, Section 43: Hospice Services rule which will end the temporary exclusion on July 1, 2024.

As part of the Section 43 rulemaking, the Department intends to maintain the requirement that providers submit visit records for certain hospice services provided in the home. Therefore, hospice providers should continue working toward EVV implementation.  

For questions about these changes, please contact Bruce Cosgrove, Provider Relations Specialist.
