[Provider] Proposed MaineCare Rule for Hearing Aids and Services

[Provider Notification]

ATTENTION:  All MaineCare Providers of Hearing Aids and Services

 

This is notice of proposed rulemaking within the MaineCare Benefits
Manual, Chapter II and III, Section 35, Hearing Aids & Services and
Allowances for Hearing Aid Services.

 

Concise Summary  

The Department has proposed changes to this section to adjust the policy
to reflect the current practice of only allowing providers to bill for
members under the age of 21 under this section.  Other proposed changes
to this section of policy are being made to eliminate the use of local
codes and provide alternate codes to replace them.  Due to these
required code changes, prior authorization language is being updated.
This rule is not expected to fiscally impact or create new recording
burdens for any small businesses and is not expected to yield new costs
for municipal or county governments.
