Maine Office of Behavioral Health’s Section 17 Self-Direction Pilot Program: Executive Summary
The Self-Directed Care (SDC) pilot program in Maine tested a service delivery model that allows individuals with mental health needs to manage a personal budget, supported by a trained broker to purchase goods and services that best support their recovery goals. Funded through the American Rescue Plan Act, the Maine Office of Behavioral Health implemented the nine-month pilot in three counties, partnering with Alpha One, Maine’s Center for Independent Living, to provide reloadable debit cards for participant purchases. The program aimed to promote autonomy, satisfaction, and stability among adults receiving Section 17 Medicaid services while informing decisions about the model’s future in the state. The evaluation used a mixed-methods design to examine implementation, quality, participant experience, and early outcomes through interviews, surveys, program data, and MaineCare claims analyses. Findings from the pilot will help guide Maine’s next steps in exploring self-directed approaches to behavioral health service delivery. A full final report is also available.https://digitalcommons.usm.maine.edu/dip_publications/1006/thumbnail.jp
Maine Office of Behavioral Health’s Section 17 Self-Direction Pilot Program: Evaluation Report
Maine’s Office of Behavioral Health conducted a nine-month pilot of Self-Directed Care to support adults with serious mental illness in Cumberland, Hancock, and Washington Counties. The program allowed eligible participants receiving MaineCare Section 17 services to manage a personal budget, guided by trained Support Brokers from Alpha One, to purchase goods and services that would advance their recovery goals. The pilot aimed to increase participant choice, autonomy, and flexibility in managing their mental health needs. Support Brokers worked closely with participants and Case Managers to develop and approve individualized purchase plans, monitor expenditures, and ensure alignment with treatment objectives. A total of eighty-four individuals participated in the pilot, which is intended to inform future decisions about expanding or continuing the Self-Directed Care model in Maine. Studies suggest that this approach can improve satisfaction, autonomy, and in some cases lead to gains in employment and housing stability, highlighting its potential as an effective service delivery model.https://digitalcommons.usm.maine.edu/dip_publications/1007/thumbnail.jp
