Facility Licenses Under Title 5

Apr 22, 2024

Providers whose facility license is under a Title 5 review may use their Title 5 notice to extend their enrollment with MaineCare in MIHMS by six months, and for every six months thereafter, until the Title 5 review is resolved. Providers must complete this update by submitting a maintenance case via the Health PAS Online Portal. Providers can utilize the Provider Maintenance User Guide for a step-by-step guide for submitting a Title 5 Maintenance Case. The user guide can be found in the Provider Enrollment section  of the Health PAS Online Portal. 

Select the “Title 5 License Extension” from the licensing board drop-down menu and complete the maintenance case as usual. Providers can utilize the ALMS website to search for their license and must take a screenshot to upload with the maintenance case to show the Title 5 status. 

Dates to be used are as follows:  

The "Begin Date” is the date you are submitting the case. The "Term Date” is the date 6 months after the "Begin Date”. For example, if you are enrolling today and today’s date is July 1, 2024, use that date as your “Begin Date”. Add six months and enter the “Term Date” as December 31, 2024. You must repeat this process every six months until the Title 5 review has been finalized, submitted, and you are notified by your licensing board that your license termination date will not be extended.   

Providers must submit their license renewals to Licensing and submit their enrollment maintenance case in a timely manner. Providers must be aware of their license expiration dates. You should plan to submit a maintenance case to update that license information a minimum of 30 days prior to the license expiration date. Providers should account for this when planning and submitting other maintenance cases. You will not receive reimbursement for services provided to MaineCare members if you fail to renew your license and update it within a maintenance case prior to its expiration.
