Attention Section 65, Behavioral Health Service Providers: Mobile Crisis Response Teams Draft Service Model and Rates, Public Review and Comment

Jan 02, 2024

Earlier this year, the Department’s vendor, Burns and Associates, a division of Health Management Associates (HMA-Burns), conducted a survey for Section 65 Crisis Resolution and Response Services. We used the information obtained from the surveys in addition to stakeholder feedback provided during an online public meeting on February 24, 2023, to create a draft redesigned, team-based, mobile crisis service model. We previously outlined this process during our kick-off meeting with providers on May 12, 2022. This message outlines the next steps in the process related to draft service models and rates.

PUBLIC REVIEW AND COMMENT 

On January 11, 2024, MaineCare with its vendor Burns and Associates, will hold an online public meeting to present the draft service and rate models along with rationale.

After the forum, the models will be posted online, and the Department’s vendor will accept written comments until January 25, 2024. The Department will then respond in writing to those comments with an explanation of whether and how the feedback was incorporated into the final rate determination.  

As providers and interested stakeholders, your feedback is important. We encourage you to participate in these meetings as we discuss the draft service model recommendations and collect feedback on this redesigned service.  

Please contact Jessica Levesque, MaineCare’s Rate Reform Project Manager, with any questions related to this determination process. 

This notice is sent pursuant to Title 22, §3173-J
