Health exchange insurer lines up providers for plan
Maine Community Health Options, one of two insurers hoping to offer policies through Maine's health insurance exchange next year, has contracted with a group of central Maine physicians for its plan.
The Bangor Daily News reported the Lewiston-based MCHO has inked a contract with the Kennebec Region Health Alliance, a group operated by MaineGeneral Medical Center, as the first in a network of preferred providers for its insurance policy plan.
The insurer, which won a $62 million federal loan from the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services in March, plans to begin enrolling patients in October with a goal of attracting 50,000 customers.
Only Anthem, which has partnered with the Portland-based MaineHealth, will offer a competing plan on Maine's federally run insurance exchange, a key part of the Affordable Care Act.
