Message regarding Maine DHHS meeting with CMS

Following a conference call between the leadership of DHHS and CMS, the decision was made to postpone the meeting scheduled with CMS for 5/31/12. At this time the Department does not have the level of detail necessary to support the recommendations for each Appendix in order to meet the expectations of CMS. The Department will continue our work on each of the models, working with each Stakeholder group should further information be needed, and a notice will be posted here when the meeting has been rescheduled.
