Summary

The law lets Maine home‑health and hospice agencies provide care to state residents when the care is ordered by a licensed provider from another state. The out‑of‑state provider must be in good standing, conduct an in‑person exam in their own jurisdiction, and try to coordinate with any Maine primary‑care doctor. This expands access while ensuring verification and communication safeguards.
