Fiscal Detail and Notes
	The presumptive eligibility language in the bill could increase costs to the Department of Health and Human Services as new individuals could apply and receive MaineCare eligibility. As it is unknown how many individuals would become eligible who would not have applied for eligbility without the presumptive eligibility determination from the provider, no fiscal estimate of these costs can be provided at this time. Any additional costs to the Department of Health and Human Services for rule-making are expected to be minor and can be absorbed within existing budgeted resources.
