There are changes coming to health care in Maine.
InterMed said, starting next year, it will no longer accept Martin’s Point Medicare Advantage insurance.
The decision will affect thousands of patients, primarily in Greater Portland.
InterMed’s president claims the existing contract “hinders” its ability to deliver high-quality patient care.
The split reflects a broader trend of tightening conditions in the Medicare Advantage market.
Patients affected by the change will need to find alternative coverage to continue seeing InterMed providers without facing out-of-network costs.
