Maine Lawmakers Call for Reconsideration of Modivcare Contract
Maine lawmakers are urging the state to reconsider its $750 million contract with Modivcare after the company filed for bankruptcy in August.
Modivcare is currently providing nonemergency medical transportation services to MaineCare, Maine's Medicaid program, under a contract awarded in 2023 and set to last through 2033.
Modivcare began a Chapter 11 bankruptcy process to strengthen its balance sheet and free itself from more than $1 billion in debt.
The company's financial situation has prompted lawmakers to question whether it is the right provider for the job.
The state's health department is being called upon to review the contract in light of Modivcare's bankruptcy filing.
