An Act To Support Individuals With Personality Disorder Or Emotional Dysregulation By Requiring Reimbursement Under The Mainecare Program
This bill directs the Maine Department of Health and Human Services to create a pilot program that reimburses MaineCare members for treating up to 25 individuals diagnosed with personality disorders or primary emotional dysregulation. The program will use a bundled payment rate covering various services, including dialectical behavior therapy, psychiatry, nursing, case management, and skills coaching. Funding of $650,000 is allocated for the 2024-2025 fiscal year to support this initiative, and the department must submit a report on the program's effectiveness by November 7, 2025, to determine if it should be expanded.
