Resolve, to Provide Stability to Long-term Care Facility Funding

Where it is in the process
Plain-English Summary

This bill requires the Department of Health and Human Services to immediately recalculate MaineCare reimbursement rates for residential care facilities to include a cost-of-living adjustment, applied retroactively to January 1, 2025. It also mandates the department to start a rate study for these facilities and implement new rates by January 1, 2026, ensuring providers do not see a decrease in rates in the first year of the new system. This aims to provide financial stability for facilities serving elderly and disabled residents.
