Health Home Applications Opening Wednesday, November 13, 2019

The Health Home program is a vital component of Maine’s Value-Based Purchasing strategy, a multi-pronged MaineCare initiative designed to improve the healthcare system, improve population health, and reduce cost. Health Home practices partner with Community Care Teams and Behavioral Health Home organizations to serve MaineCare members with chronic physical conditions and mental health needs. Participating practices receive a per member, per month payment to provide Health Home services. Both adults and children may be enrolled in the Health Home program.

• Applications open Wednesday, November 13, 2019 and close Monday, December 9, 2019. Practices with more than one location must complete a separate application for each location. To apply on or after November 13th, please access the online application.
• Practices that apply and qualify will be able to participate in Health Homes as of January 21, 2020. To review current MaineCare policy for Health Home Services, please see the MaineCare Benefits Manual, Chapter II, Section 91: Health Home Services.
