Resolve, Requiring The Maine Health Data Organization To Develop A Plan For Measuring Gaps In Home And Community-Based Services

LD 977 requires Maine's Health Data Organization to create a plan for measuring the gap between approved home and community-based services (like those under MaineCare) and the actual services people receive. It directs the organization to use existing data from MaineCare and state programs to develop an annual measurement system that meets federal requirements. The organization must submit a report by January 15, 2026, detailing available data, gaps, costs, and recommendations for ongoing tracking. This affects MaineCare beneficiaries and state-funded program participants by establishing a standardized way to track service delivery.
