The bill provides a FY 2006-07 General Fund appropriation of $1,260,000 for the Department of Health and Human Services to increase MaineCare reimbursement rates for wheelchair van services.  While the bill specifies the rates should be set so that providers are not providing services at a loss, it does not otherwise specify the amount of the rate increase to be funded by this appropriation.
