Do You Have MaineCare?

Let your voice be heard!

 Come to a Listening Session about MaineCare!

Tell researchers what you think about MaineCare and how you get your health care! 

 We are looking for people who have MaineCare to come talk about MaineCare and their health care with researchers from the University of Southern Maine.  The Maine Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) is changing the way it pays hospitals and physicians in order to improve the quality of services and the way services are delivered to MaineCare members. So the purpose of this group is to hear directly from you about your experiences with MaineCare and your ideas for improving it. These Listening Sessions are a chance for you to let DHHS know about what you like and dislike about MaineCare and how it can work better for you.

 The names of people who go to the Listening Sessions will be kept confidential. The researchers will summarize what is said in a report that will be shared with people in DHHS and others who are trying to improve the MaineCare program.  This is a great opportunity to help improve the MaineCare program.

 Participants will receive a $30 gift certificate to Hannaford’s, travel reimbursement (44 cents per mile) and child care reimbursement, if needed.
