Maine Seeks Comments on Medical Payments Coverage Assignment Rules

The Maine Bureau of Insurance is seeking public comments by August 29, 2025 on LD 899 (P.L. Ch. 102), which requires that assignments of Medical Payments Coverage under 24-A M.R.S. § 2910-A(4) be made in writing on a form prescribed or approved by the superintendent.

Bulletin 489: Agency Termination Not Valid Basis for Nonrenewal Under Maine Cancellation Control Acts

The Maine Bureau of Insurance has issued Bulletin 489 clarifying that insurers may not nonrenew homeowners, renters, or personal auto policies solely because the insurer's agency relationship with a producer has terminated. The bulletin emphasizes that Maine's Cancellation Control Acts (Chapter 39 for automobiles, Chapter 41 for property) permit nonrenewal only for specified reasons, and vague explanations such as 'underwriting reasons' are legally insufficient. Insurers and producers are directed to review Bulletin 391 for detailed guidance on policyholder rights during agency terminations.

Under the revised rules, health carriers may not deny a referral made by a DHCP, or impose additional cost sharing or other conditions, for the sole reason that the referring provider is out of network or practices on a direct care basis. Carriers may still apply usual cost sharing requirements, benefit limitations, and reasonable clinical review criteria as they would for participating providers.

Maine Network Adequacy Guidance for Plan Year 2027
