Appealing MaineCare Denials or Reductions in Service

Legal Services for the Elderly can help you or your loved one in appealing MaineCare denials or reductions in service. You should call our Helpline 1-800-750-5353 immediately for Legal Assistance if:

• Your in-home service hours have been reduced or eliminated following an assessment by a nurse assessor.
• Your in-home service hours have been cut off due to an inability to pay your monthly bill or “cost-of-care.”
• The state will no longer pay for your care in a nursing home or assisted living facility.
• You are being moved from a nursing facility to a different type of a facility (such as an assisted living facility or a residential care facility) following an assessment by a nurse assessor.
