Pharmacies, ​Help Your Patients Act Now to Avoid a Gap in Their Health Coverage​ 

Aug 25, 2023

The Office of MaineCare Services is working to raise awareness about the need for people with MaineCare to renew their coverage or, if they’re no longer eligible, to enroll in coverage through their employer or through CoverME.gov, Maine’s Health Insurance Marketplace.    

How pharmacies can help:  

Include information from the communications toolkit about MaineCare renewals in emails, social media, or other communications. Print and hang the posters or distribute flyers from the toolkit at your pharmacy locations. The toolkit is also translated into 9 languages, which can be found here. 

How MaineCare members should Stay Connected to Stay Covered: 

• Update their contact information (such as address, phone number, and email.) They can call 1-855-797-4357, option 1 to update contact information through an automated system, or visit MyMaineConnection.gov.    

• Complete and return the renewal form due to arrive between April 2023 and March 2024. Members should be on the lookout for the envelope with a blue block (if it’s blue, it’s time to renew!) or e-notice with the renewal information and instructions. Members will need to complete the form and return it right away to avoid a gap in coverage.
