About Maine Community Health Options

Maine Community Health Options is Maine’s first nonprofit, consumer operated and oriented health insurance plan. We are the only member-directed health insurance plan partnering with people, healthcare providers, and small businesses.

We are innovative and do things differently to improve healthcare for all. We believe that healthcare can be both better and more affordable when doctors, patients, health insurers, and employers all work together. We foster these relationships because these partnerships will bring change.

We also believe that the community plays an important role in people’s health. We support local resources whenever possible to help all Maine people have better access to high-quality, integrated care.

Maine Community Health Options is a national Consumer Operated and Oriented Plan (CO-OP) created with the support of the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Maine Community Health Options is a private, nonprofit entity governed by a member-based Board of Directors, which gives members a strong voice in the management and development of the plan.
