MaineCare Health Homes and Community Care Teams

Maine

The MaineCare Health Homes initiative began as an effort to deploy the medical home model to serve Maine's Medicaid patients. In 2013, the program began to incorporate Community Care Teams in order to target patients with multiple chronic conditions.  Based on the work of the Camden Coalition and prior demonstration projects, these interdisciplinary care teams provided high-touch, integrated care to targeted patients. In 2014, the program expanded to include Behavioral Health Organizations in order to treat patients with serious mental illness. There are currently ten Community Care Teams operating throughout the state.
