Adults

There are free and low-cost health coverage options that ensure adults can get the important care they need to stay healthy.

Coverage

If one of these coverage groups describes your situation and you meet eligibility requirements, you may be covered by MaineCare’s full benefit package:

• Parent or Caretaker Relative - You are the guardian, caretaker, or relative of a dependent child or you are related by blood or marriage or have adopted the child. The child must also be living with you, and you must have primary responsibility for the child’s care.
• Adults between age 21 and 64 who are not eligible for Medicare
• Pregnant People - You are pregnant, or you had a pregnancy that ended within the last 60 days.
• Former Foster Care Children - You are under 26 years old, were in foster care in the State of Maine and were enrolled in Medicaid through the State of Maine at age 18, and are not otherwise eligible for, or enrolled in, other Medicaid coverage.

To see the current eligibility guidelines for the above coverage groups, visit the OFI Health Care Assistance webpage.

If you are an adult who is age 65 and older or eligible for Medicare, please see the Older Adults and Adults with Disabilities webpage.

MaineCare also offers more limited benefits to help Mainers cover the cost of pharmacy and dental services, as well as programs that help with the cost of drugs, private health insurance premiums, and more. Learn more about limited benefit packages.
