Fiscal Detail and Notes
The amendment reduces the anticipated costs to the MaineCare program that had been assumed primarily from an increase in bed conversions from nursing facilities to residential care that would have been exempt from MaineCare cost neutrality, and removes the need for an appropriation-allocation section. A potential for an increase in costs to the MaineCare program may still result from both Part A and Part B of the bill.
