Wellness Wallet Pilot Program
The State of Maine will be offering the Wellness Wallet Lifestyle Spending Account (LSA) Pilot Program to primary subscribers under the State of Maine Health Plan in 2025. This program was created in response to requests from members seeking alternative ways to access reimbursement for expenses they incur while taking steps to achieve and sustain health, wellness, and well-being.
