You are subscribed to MaineCare - Long Term Care Services for Maine Department of Health & Human Services. This information has recently been updated, and is now available.
On December 22, 2025, we emailed QBP letters to administrators and senior level leadership for NFs that met the 2025 participation criteria to earn a QBP award. Each letter included the anticipated dollar amount for each NF, as described in MaineCare Benefits Manual (MBM), Chapter III, Section 67 (22.6.3). The payment date and confirmation of final amount is contingent on approval from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. We will send an update upon federal approval and will release payments approximately two weeks after federal approval.
For questions about this process, please contact Bruce Cosgrove, Provider Relations Specialist for Nursing Facilities.
