New seat mix on health data board
The law resets who holds voting seats on the board. There are two consumer members from a statewide consumer group list; a consumer cannot be tied to an insurer, provider, or their trade groups. Two employer members are named: one from a statewide purchasing coalition list and one from a statewide chamber of commerce list. Two members represent third‑party payors from a statewide payor group list. Four provider seats are set: one from hospitals and health systems; two not affiliated with a hospital, from a statewide provider group list; and one pharmacist from a pharmacists group list. One member represents the pharmaceutical industry, chosen from a statewide life sciences group list. The Director of the Office of MaineCare Services, or a designee, serves as a board member.
Smaller Maine health data board, new terms
The law sets the Maine Health Data Organization board at 12 voting members and one nonvoting member. The Governor appoints 11 members, and these appointments do not need confirmation. The MHDO executive director serves as a nonvoting member. Governor‑appointed members serve three-year terms and stay until a successor is named. Members may serve up to three consecutive terms.
