Chapter 210 - STANDARDS FOR PHARMACY BENEFITS MANAGERS
Section 031-210-2 - Applicability and Scope

This rule shall apply to all PBMs as defined in 24-A M.R.S. §4347(17) and carriers, as defined in 24-A M.R.S. §4347(3), that contract with PBMs. For purposes of this rule, as set forth in 24-AM.R.S. §4347(3), the MaineCare program and the state employee health plan are considered carriers, but a multiple-employer welfare arrangement is not considered a carrier if it contracts with a third-party administrator to administer its benefit plan and does not contract separately with a PBM for its prescription drug benefits.
