Which Medicaid managed care plans do home care agencies contract with in Maine?
Last verified October 17, 2026 · All Maine resources
Maine pays for Medicaid home care fee-for-service. Maine does not use managed care organizations for MaineCare long-term services. Home care agencies enroll directly with MaineCare, and the Office of Aging and Disability Services oversees the programs, with an assessing services agency determining eligibility and hours.
For the programs that pay for home care, see Maine Medicaid waivers.
