  • It’s May in Maine, and we’re enjoying lots of sunny days and just a few drizzly ones. Luckily, our newsletter gets delivered rain or shine! This month we celebrate our birthday, bring you consumer perspectives on health care costs and information about Mental Health Month. We also share warnings about unregulated health plans, news about Maine CDC’s new Oral Health Webpage, updates from MaineCare, and define a health coverage term of the month. Grab a glass of cold lemonade or a cup of hot tea (depending on the weather) and enjoy the May edition of Consumer News.

  • Spring has officially arrived, but the springtime weather hasn’t caught up just yet! As you wait for the sunshine and songbirds to arrive, why not take a moment to read the April edition of Consumer News? This month we’re celebrating Medicaid Awareness Month and Minority Health Month, sharing a few seasonal health tips, some CoverME.gov and MaineCare reminders, and defining a health coverage term of the month.

  • It's March in Maine, and the signs of spring are all around! From melting snow to the scent of maple steam in the air, this month gives us plenty of reasons to be excited for the coming season. In our March edition, we're talking about brain injury awareness, giving some sleep tips, sharing some details from our 2026 survey, providing CoverME.gov and MaineCare updates, and defining a helpful health coverage term of the month.

  • When February arrives, Mainers start getting excited for spring. Unfortunately, most parts of our state still have several inches of snow to melt before we see signs of the season ahead. Until then, enjoy watching the Olympics, doing something sweet for Valentine's Day, and reading this month's edition of Consumer News. We're discussing heart health, children's dental care, resources for Mainers who need help affording food, and timely updates about MaineCare, special enrollment periods, tax season, and more!

  • It’s January, and we're doing our best to avoid the slippery roads and unpredictable weather! Now that the busy holiday season has ended and a new year has begun, we hope you’ll have a moment to cozy up with a hot drink and read this month’s edition. We're discussing topics including Blood Donor Month, an exciting award, some technology insight, and a few ways to help keep yourself and others warm through the rest of the winter.
