Maine HIV/AIDS Program

This Demonstration extends healthcare and prescription drug benefits to individuals with HIV/AIDS with incomes up to 250% of the FPL, who are not otherwise eligible for Medicaid. Many of these individuals would eventually become disabled due to the natural progression of the disease, and eventually qualify for full Medicaid coverage. By providing a targeted package earlier in the process, the State hopes to slow the disease progress for persons living with HIV/AIDS and delay or prevent their becoming disabled. Savings from averted months of Medicaid eligibility are used to fund the expanded coverage. Individuals with HIV/AIDS who are currently eligible for Maine's Medicaid program may also enroll in the Demonstration to receive enhanced targeted case management services.
