Section 144-335-5 - Premium Payment
The monthly premium amount is determined annually by the Office of MaineCare Services as outlined in the Maine State Services Manual, 10-144 CMR Chapter 104, Section 5.
The premium for the first month of coverage is due before the end of the month. Subsequent premiums are due on the first (1st) day of each month of coverage.
Premiums may be paid monthly or for multiple months at a time.
A premium must be paid for an entire month; partial payments will not be accepted.
Premiums that are not received by the due date are considered overdue, and coverage will end effective the next month, unless there is good cause. Good cause exists if premiums are not paid by the due date because of the following reasons:
Mail delay; or Illness of the covered child's responsible adult; or Unanticipated emergency beyond the control of the responsible adult.
