USE THESE TIPS FOR Health Insurance Marketplace and MaineCare:
- Save all paperwork together in a safe place.
- Keep copies of your health related papers for at least two years.
- Always write down the date you send paperwork. Keep a copy of what you send.
- Always be sure your medical appointment is with someone your insurance company says is an in-network provider. Out of network providers cost a lot more.
But Mainers have more coverage options including expanded MaineCare.
