MaineMOM Service Models

There are three models of MaineMOM Services to accommodate various provider and member situations. The three models are:

• Partnership Model: for members who are receiving OUD services onsite from the MaineMOM provider and prenatal and postpartum medical services from a different provider and service location; and

• Perinatal Navigation Model: for members who receive only prenatal and postpartum medical services from the MaineMOM provider and/or are receiving their OUD treatment from a different non-MaineMOM provider and service location.
