The purpose of Appendix B is to identify reimbursement regulations that are specific to substance use treatment facilities under Chapter III, Private Non-Medical Institutions (PNMI) services of the MaineCare Benefits Manual. The general provisions of Chapter III for PNMI services contain reimbursement regulations that are applicable to all categories of service under the PNMI regulations. It shall be the prerogative of the Commissioner of the Department of Health and Human Services to impose a ceiling on reimbursement for private non-medical institutions. These regulations identify which costs are reimbursable within Section 97, Chapters II and III and Appendix B, Private Non-Medical Institution Services of the MaineCare Benefits Manual. As of November 15, 2010, Substance Use Treatment Facilities under this Appendix are reimbursed using a standard rate for each defined type of substance use treatment service, and are not subject to establishment of interim rates and cost settlement procedures, as detailed in Section 97, Chapter III. Rates may be found at http://www.maine.gov/dhhs/audit/rate-setting/index.shtml.
