Updated Supplemental Payment Information for Sections 2, 67, and 97 Appendix C Providers 

Updated Supplemental Payment Information for Sections 2, 67, and 97 Appendix C Providers 

As previously announced, the Department will be issuing over $123 million in state and federal funds in supplemental COVID-19 payments to in-state Nursing Facilities (NFs), PNMI Appendix Cs (also known as Residential Care Facilities, or RCFs), and Adult Family Care Homes (AFCHs). Per our previous communication, payments to facilities will be made in two lump sum amounts, with the first payment issued in September and a second payment in October. The September payment will be approximately half of the total payment, and the October payment will make up the remaining balance. 

This message is to inform providers that the first payment will be issued with this week’s cycle, on September 22nd.  These payments will be indicated on the Remittance Advices as “OTHER.”  

We will send another notice when we have more information on the timing and details associated with the remaining payments to be made in October.  

As a reminder, any NFs, PNMI Cs or AFCHs enrolled with MaineCare that provided services during FY21 or FY22, and that were still active as of September 1, 2021, are eligible to receive supplemental payments. For more information about provider eligibility, use of funds, and more, please reference our September 10th e-message.  

Please contact provider relations specialist, Tammy Usher, with any questions.
