Contracted Service Providers
Given the December 1 restrictions on billing for Contracted Service Providers, MSB is contemplating some options that may be offered to districts in order to collect documentation from contracted service providers. While districts are not able to bill for contracted service providers, the information collected in Lumea could be made available to contracted services providers in a format that would be billable to MaineCare. Stay tuned for more information. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Rebecca Martin or Steve Courter.
