SUMMARY
This amendment, which is the unanimous report of the committee, replaces the appropriations and allocations section. Instead of providing a rate increase to all rates under the Department of Health and Human Services rule Chapter 101: MaineCare Benefits Manual, Chapter III, Section 65, Behavioral Health Services, the amendment provides that the rate increase applies only to children's home and community-based treatment services under that section.
