Maine's care landscape is continuously expanding, with the oldest median age in the country and chronic manpower shortages. Providing Maine Provider Policies, Procedures & Toolkits, CarePolicy also provides practical licensing guidelines for home health, hospice, assisted living, behavioral health, adult day, HCBS waiver services and more; whether you're opening, growing or stabilizing your service. Our state-ready policy kits align perfectly with Maine regulations so you can confidently pass surveys, win approvals, and get teams on the road. Partner with them with expert consultants to organize your application, apply for inspections, and synchronize training. Whether you are starting a new agency or adding service lines, we help you to remove complexity, avoid delays and get to the first billable day quicker.

Maine Licensing Overview

The Division of Licensing and Certification (DLC) of the Department of Health and Human Services regulates the majority of Maine care providers. The Office of MaineCare Services handles Medicaid enrollment, while OADS handles HCBS waiver onboarding. Typically, core processes include submitting a completed application, policies, and fees; completing background checks through the Maine Background Check Center; completing a pre-licensure inspection or survey; verifying and training staff credentials; and enrolling in MaineCare if you plan to bill Medicaid. To ensure a clean opening and compliance, our Maine Care Provider Licensing Consultations guide you through every stage, provide clarification on documentation, and set up an inspection-ready binder.

Maine State Specific FAQs

How long does it take to get licensed in Maine?

Timelines vary by provider type and readiness. Home health and hospice typically take 60–120 days from application to decision, depending on inspections and corrections. Our kits include checklists and mock-survey tools to help avoid delays.

What inspections should we expect?

For most facility and agency types, DLC conducts pre-licensing and recurring surveys. Expect environment checks, staff interviews, and policy reviews. To keep you prepared from day one through renewal, we provide inspection binders, tracer templates, and corrective action plans.

Do non-medical home care providers need a state license?

Yes. In-home personal care providers in Maine must be licensed personal care agencies and complete background checks and training. Our personal care policy kit covers service plans, monitoring, incident reporting, and MBCC procedures.

What are Maine background check requirements?

Direct access employees must undergo continuous Rap Back monitoring and background checks through the Maine Background Check Center. To help managers keep files complete and survey-ready, we provide detailed MBCC protocols and onboarding forms.

How does MaineCare enrollment work for new agencies?

Apply for MaineCare enrollment after or alongside licensing. Some provider types also onboard through the OADS interface for HCBS. Our consultation ensures your initial claims meet program requirements, covering NPI taxonomy, required attachments, revalidation timelines, and section-specific needs.

Patiently Helpful

I am working with a team therefore it took a little time to get the documents together. Also, my laptop went down on me so I was not uploading to the Google document drive correctly. Anton, who has been helping me has been great with making it work even though I was not equipped to put everything in place like I should’ve been, and I am greatly appreciative of that

Client Handbook

"Though I initially felt some hesitation about the product after reading the online table of contents, my concerns were completely addressed after a call with Anton at the home office. He provided excellent reassurance that the final product would be exactly as stated and that I would be able to customize it with my business's information. Anton also assured me that ongoing support would be available to answer any questions and guide me through the process. Upon receiving and reviewing the handbook, it perfectly matched the description. I would not only purchase from this company again but also highly recommend them."
