Community AssessmentThe State of Maine's Community Assessment Program provides health care assessments to individuals over 18 years of age, through a referral from a medical service provider. In 1998 GHS took over management of the program, when it made the transition from paper to electronic assessments. The GHS Community Assessment Program team is comprised of more than 60 nurse assessors, and supported by administrative staff who coordinate the assessments from hospitals, nursing facilities, individuals' homes, and other health care facilities. We also staff a toll-free help desk to receive referrals from medical providers and answer questions about existing or past cases. Each of our nurse assessors carries a laptop computer. After each assessment, the information collected is directly relayed to our office and to the Bureau of Elder and Adult Services, via a statewide network of secure dial-in locations. Currently GHS processes 300 calls, 100 referrals, and conducts approximately 60 face-to-face assessments every day. Community Assessment is a showcase program for the State, one in which Maine leads the nation in innovation and efficiency. GHS is currently talking with other states that have expressed interest in creating a similar program for their residents.

GHS/Rx provides prescription drug services through a national network of pharmacies, so that no matter where your employees are in the United States, if they need a prescription it can be filled easily. With GHS/Rx, your prescription drug program is customized to meet your company's budget and needs. Our on-staff pharmacists and medical director will work closely with you to identify cost-effective generic equivalents of expensive drugs to include in your program, without sacrificing quality or integrity. You can elect to include a drug review in your program, for additional cost savings. This feature makes optimal use of current advances in drug therapies - which can keep your employees healthier and could lower the incidence of hospitalizations. Innovative new drug therapies have sparked a trend toward shorter hospital stays and are enabling some patients to stay out of hospitals altogether. When you sign on with GHS/Rx, we'll put a team in place to serve as the medical benefits department of your company. Customer service is key to our success, and you can count on us to manage your program proactively, not just process claims. We provide training for your human resources staff and benefits specialist, so you can maximize the program's cost-effectiveness and keep rates in check.
