From the meeting
At the September 1, 2026 meeting, MaineCare said CMS issued a final rule ending federal Medicaid and CHIP matching funds for certain gender-affirming care for minors effective October 13, 2026. Maine will continue coverage with state-only funds and does not expect disruption to care or provider reimbursement. The operational issue is fitting the change into concurrent medical claims and pharmacy claims system upgrades.
