Fiscal Detail and Notes
	This bill directs the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) to establish a new health home model that includes services for substance use disorder and co-occurring mental health diagnoses in one model and a new payment model. These services are currently provided in different sections of MaineCare policy, but this bill will require them to be combined under a new model. Creating this new model could potentially increase costs for the DHHS. A more precise estimate of the fiscal impact is not possible because a model will need to be designed and a rate setting process completed to identify the rates for this new model.
