The bill provides
coverage to MaineCare members for legal abortion services. It is estimated
that the annual costs to the Department of Health and Human Services of
covering abortions in MaineCare would be $375,000 of General Fund dollars
with no Federal Expenditures Fund allocations, as these services are not
eligible for federal match. This bill provides no new funding. The impact of
these new unfunded costs on other programs in the DHHS cannot be determined
at this time.
The state employee health plan and the Department of Professional and
Financial Regulation do not anticipate any additional costs as a result of
this bill. |
