Open Enrollment in the Marketplace Exchange Begins Nov. 1
The 2016 sign-up season for purchasing health insurance in the ACA Marketplace Exchange begins on Nov. 1. The enrollment period will last for three months, ending on Jan. 31, 2016. Patients who currently have a 2015 health insurance
plan through the Marketplace should review their plans and either renew
coverage or select another plan for 2016.
This past Thursday the Obama administration announced that it expects only a small increase in enrollment this year. HHS Secretary Sylvia Burwell has set a target of 10 million people being enrolled and paying their premiums by the end of next year. That is only a small increase from the number of individuals covered through the exchanges now.
Secretary Burwell stated that it will be more difficult to sign up the remaining uninsured as many are young, with limited resources and many are not aware of their eligibility for subsidies available through the exchange. Depending
on household income, consumers may be able to get lower costs on monthly
Marketplace health insurance premiums and out-of-pocket costs. Most people who apply will qualify for some
kind of savings.
Outside of Open Enrollment,
some people may qualify for a Special
Enrollment Period (SEP) if they have certain life changes, such as having
a baby, adopting a child, or placing a child for adoption; getting married;
change in Immigration status; moving to a new coverage area; aging off a
parent’s plan at 26; or losing health insurance (but not if lost due to
non-payment or voluntarily dropping coverage).
MMA is assisting medical practices with Open Enrollment by providing informational materials that can be shared with eligible patients. If you are interested in partnering with MMA in this important endeavor, contact Susan Kring at skring@mainemed.com. These efforts are supported by a grant from the Maine Health Access Foundation (MeHAF). [return to top]

U.S. Attorney, Attorney General and Commissioner of Public Safety Establish Task Forces to Address Opiate/Heroin Crisis
On Thursday, Oct. 8, U.S. Attorney Thomas Delahanty, Attorney General Janet Mills and Commissioner of Public Safety John Morris announced the formation of three Task Forces made up wholly of volunteers to address the continuing problem of opiate/heroin use and abuse in the state. The Task Forces were formed around the topics of Treatment, Prevention/Harm Reduction and Law Enforcement. Each Task Force consists of about a dozen individuals and each is co-chaired by two subject matter experts in the field.
The Treatment Task Force is co-chaired by addictionologist Mark Publicker, M.D. and Pat Kimball, LADC, CCS, Program Director of Wellspring in Bangor. Pat is also the current President of the Maine Association of Substance Abuse Providers. The Prevention/Harm Reduction Task Force is co-chaired by Eric Haram of MidCoast Hospital and William Paterson of the Univeristy of New England and the Law Enforcement Task Force is co-chaired by Sagadahoc Sheriff Joel Merry and Portland Police Chief Michael Sauschuk. Members of the Task Forces are listed below.
The Task Forces will make recommendations to the Executive Panel which appointed them (Delahanty, Mills and Morris) through a Board of Directors consisting of Daniel J. Perry, Assistant United States Attorney (Narcotics Chief), Brian MacMaster, Chief Investigator in the Office of the Attorney General and Gordon Smith, Esq., Executive Vice President of the Maine Medical Association and Robert Williams, Colonel, Maine State Police.

Collectively, the Task Forces will be known as the Maine Opiate Collaborative. The following mission statement for the Collaborative was released to the press at a press conference Thursday following brief meetings of the Task Forces with the Executive Panel and Board.
The Maine Opiate Collaborative recognizes that a broad, multi-dimensional approach is necessary to address the public health crisis caused by opiate abuse. Education, prevention, treatment, recovery, and law enforcement must all be significant parts of any solution. This Collaborative brings together people from each of these fields with the goals of identifying and addressing the causes of opiate abuse and proposing solutions. Collaborative members will meet regularly over the coming months and suggest comprehensive proposals to address the opiate crisis. The Collaborative will investigate efforts in other states to determine whether similar approaches would work in Maine. In addition, the Collaborative will solicit input in a series of public forums during which members of the public may share their experiences and ideas.
The Collaborative recognizes three basic tenets: (1) leaders in the fields of education, prevention, treatment, recovery, and law enforcement should seek to raise public awareness about substance use disorders in an effort to diminish the stigma associated with addiction; (2) although law enforcement alone cannot bring an end to this crisis an effective law enforcement strategy aimed at arresting and prosecuting significant drug traffickers is a necessary component of this effort; and (3) the potential power of education, prevention, treatment and recovery is substantial and should be recognized and public promoted.
The crisis we face is not just a crime problem. It is a community public health problem with no simple answers. Addressing this crisis demands that leaders and the public come together to develop a comprehensive strategy that seeks to address all aspects of this crisis. Through collaboration and cooperation among stakeholders at every level, we will make significant strides to build a better, brighter, and more secure future for all Maine citizens.
The Treatment Task Force held its first meeting on Friday, Oct. 16, hosted by MMA at is offices in Manchester. The members handled a number of logistical issues and began a discussion of the issues they would be addressing. Members also committed to meet every two weeks from now until Spring. There is a lot of work to be done. The Task Force on Prevention/Harm Reduction will be meeting next week on either Oct. 29 or 30. Read the Update next week for a specific date. Location will be MMA's offices in Manchester.

Woodfords Now Accepting Commercial Insurance and Private Pay for Home Based Behavior Analytic Programs
Woodfords Family Services is pleased to announce that it is now accepting new referrals for children and families who are experiencing developmental and/or behavior challenges. The agency will now accept commercial insurance and private pay in addition to MaineCare reimbursement.
Eligibility
The agency accepts most major commercial insurance carriers and private pay in addition to MaineCare. Insurance coverage may vary depending on the carrier and the child’s needs. Woodfords’ intake and eligibility specialists will guide families through the process of enrolling in services and accessing specific insurance benefits.
Service and Clinical Approach
Woodfords’ treatment approach is based on the principles and practices of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). A Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) works with each family to complete a full assessment of a child’s unique history and current needs. Based on the assessment, family interviews, and direct observations, the treatment team will create an individualized treatment plan to build an environment in which each child can readily acquire new skills and reduce unwanted behaviors. Treatment may include one‐on‐one work with a BCBA and/or a behavioral health professional, direct work with the family, and social group work in a variety of settings that the child encounters on a regular basis.
About Woodfords
Woodfords Family Services is committed to the support and inclusion of people with special needs in Maine communities. Based in Westbrook with satellite locations in Topsham, Manchester and Oakland, the agency provides 14 programs in 11 Maine counties to more than 1,500 children, youth and adults living with autism, developmental disabilities, intellectual disabilities and/or mental health diagnoses. Woodfords’ vision is that all people with special needs may reach their highest potential, be active members of their communities, maintain positive, enriching relationships, live in safety and security, and lead lives allowing for choice. Woodfords is accredited by the Council on Accreditation (COA), whose program of quality improvement is designed to identify providers that have met high performance standards and have made a commitment to their stakeholders to deliver the very best quality services.

Workers' Comp Board Publishes Updated Medical Fee Schedule; Bureau of Insurance Considering Provider Profiling Rule
Two state administrative rules of interest to MMA members are making their way through the process of the Administrative Procedures Act (APA). The Maine Workers' Compensation Board recently has published an update to the medical fee schedule, known as Rule Chapter 5. It became effective October 1st.
Last Tuesday, September 29th, the Maine Bureau of Insurance held a public hearing on a new proposed rule, Rule Chapter 380, Provider Profiling Disclosures. Prompted by legislation recently enacted through the Insurance & Financial Services Committee, the proposed rule establishes certain standards and requires certain disclosures for health insurance carrier provider profiling programs. The Maine Hospital Association and Maine Medical Association spoke in favor of the proposed rule, while Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield expressed some concerns about implementation of the rule. You will find the rulemaking notice here and the proposed rule here. The Bureau of Insurance will accept written comments on the proposed rule until the close of business on Tuesday, October 13, 2015. If you have comments on this rule, please contact Andrew MacLean, Deputy EVP & General Counsel, at amaclean@mainemed.com or 622-3374, ext. 214 by October 12th.

Maine Awarded Federal Grant to Promote Colorectal Screening
After a competitive application process the U.S. Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention has awarded over $22 million to a number of
state health departments, six universities and one Native American tribe to
promote and increase colorectal screening. According to the American Cancer
Society, the Maine Department of Health & Human Services share is over
$499,000.
“Colorectal cancer is the second leading cancer killer of
both men and women in the United States, but most colorectal cancer can be
prevented,” said Tom Frieden, M.D., M.P.H., director of the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention. “Screening saves lives and funds we are providing the
states will support doctors, nurses, and others to save lives."
Each grantee must target its services towards the following:
- Adults 50-75 years of age without symptoms;
- Low-income, under- or uninsured, racial and ethnic groups
disproportionately affected and/or with geographic barriers to screening;
CDC is requiring all grantee Colorectal Cancer Control
Programs (CRCCP) to work with health systems partners to use a combination of
evidence-based strategies to increase the number of people screened. These evidence-based strategies include patient
and provider reminders, provider assessment and feedback as recommended by the Task Force on Community
Preventive Services. They will implement these strategies considering the
unique needs and situations of their health systems partners.
Since the program’s inception in 2009, CRCCP has provided
almost 55,000 colorectal cancer screening exams and diagnosed 165 colorectal
cancers and 8,441 cases of precancerous polyps. In program year 2014, CRCCP
screened 13,425 people for colorectal cancer.
“We are very pleased that the CDC has recognized the value
of this type of preventive health program,” said Gordon Smith, Executive Vice
President of the Maine Medical Association. “This grant should help physicians
and other healthcare providers to impress upon the public the importance of
colorectal screening in preventing cancer.” [return to top]
