Proposed Other Rules

Maine State Services Manual, Chapter 104, Section 4, Maine Part D Wrap Benefits WORD  PDF 
Concise Summary: This rule will retroactively amend the description of prescription drug rate changes for Maine Part D Wrap Benefits and eliminate the need to annualize changes through rulemaking. The Department pays 100% of the participant’s co-payment for generic drugs, and 50% of the participant’s co-payment for brand name drugs up to $10.00. This rule retains the same level of the co-payment benefit for participants.
