Notes

  • DHHS implemented a process called “passive renewal” or “ex parte" starting with members due for renewal in August 2023. This process allows the Department to check allowable data sources to determine a member’s eligibility and, if they are found to be eligible, automatically renew their MaineCare coverage without requiring the member to manually complete and return a renewal form. In light of CMS engagement with all states in August 2023 regarding ex parte renewal, DHHS is continuing to suspend disenrollment of members for the “procedural” reason of not returning their recertification form until further notice.
  • A small number of MaineCare members have been disenrolled for “procedural” reasons during this reporting period. This includes members who returned their recertification form but did not respond to subsequent requests for additional information from the Office for Family Independence (OFI).
  • Members counted in the pending/overdue category are individuals who were unable to be renewed through the automated ex parte process for their renewal month and were mailed a paper renewal. The process is not complete until the paper renewal is returned with necessary verifications and processed by OFI.
