MaineCare covers pediatric billing for eligible Maine beneficiaries, delivering most of that benefit through managed care organizations with a remaining fee-for-service population. The most common Maine Medicaid denials seen in York are prior authorization missing or expired, plan-of-record mismatch (patient assigned to different MCO), medical necessity documentation insufficient, timely filing exceeded, and managed care vs FFS routing errors.

Across York's 5 organizations, even a few percentage points of MCO-routing error compounds into material rework.
