Maine Family Planning sues state over $185,000 repayment order
Source: Bangor Daily News
AUGUSTA, Maine — Maine Family Planning has sued the Department of Health and Human Services, seeking to overturn an agency order compelling the organization to repay $185,000 it billed to MaineCare for services provided to pregnant women considering abortions.
In t he suit, filed Oct. 2 in Kennebec County Superior Court, Maine Family Planning alleges that DHHS reinterpreted its own rules regarding what services should and shouldn’t be covered by MaineCare, which is Maine’s version of Medicaid, the federal low-income health care program.
DHHS made its ruling in August 2015, but it only came to light when the lawsuit was filed.
The Maine Family Planning chief executive, George Hill, said the services in question — such as blood typing, pregnancy dating and post-pregnancy contraception — were provided for more than a decade before DHHS opened an investigation five years ago.
