Community Health Options offering plan with Direct Primary Care in 2027
Mending Health (formerly Taro Health) is leaving Maine’s insurance marketplace, and its plans end December 31, 2026. If you’ve been seeing us through a Mending plan, you can keep your direct primary care. For 2027, Community Health Options is the only CoverME.gov insurer offering a plan with $0 direct primary care built in: the Health Options Direct Primary Care Essential Bronze $8500 HSA HMO NE. It’s sold in Androscoggin, Cumberland, Franklin, Knox, Lincoln, Oxford, Sagadahoc, Waldo and York counties. It still includes unlimited $0 visits with us, but it has a higher deductible and out-of-pocket maximum than your Mending plan did. Please don’t rely on automatic re-enrollment, because not every replacement plan includes DPC. Choose this plan yourself, and name Fulcrum Family Health as your primary care provider. Enroll by December 15 for coverage starting January 1. The PDF below compares the old and new plans side by side, walks through each step, and shows what a family of five might pay under each option, including a health share.
