The bill includes
General Fund appropriations to the Department of Health and Human Services of
$128,684 in fiscal year 2019-20 and $257,367 in fiscal year 2020-21 to allow
for all chiropractic services that are within the scope of practice of
chiropractic doctors and performed by a licensed chiropractic doctor to be
reimbursed under the MaineCare program. Federal Expenditures Fund allocations
are also included for the FMAP match.
There is a potential for savings which could mitigate the new costs above
from individuals currently receiving services in a higher cost setting who
may choose to receive services from a lower cost chiropractor and savings
from individuals who choose the chiropractic setting initially for a new
service. As it is not known how often this may occur no estimate of the
potential savings is made at this time. |
