Maine LD1583 establishes rules for home health care and hospice services ordered by out-of-state health care providers. It requires these providers to hold a license in good standing and to prescribe services based on an in-person physical examination. The bill mandates that the referring provider ask the patient if they have a primary care provider in Maine and make efforts to contact them to obtain agreement for the services. The provider must document any contact made in the patient's medical record.
