Fiscal Detail and Notes
This bill requires music therapy services to be reimbursed under the MaineCare program contingent upon the approval of coverage by the United States Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. There is not enough information available to adequately estimate what the cost of providing this service would be and who would be eligible for the service. Therefore, no estimate of cost is made at this time.
