The Rural Medical Access Program (RMAP) offers financial incentives, in the form of reimbursement of insurance premiums, to ensure the availability of doctors who provide obstetrical and prenatal care in rural and underserved communities in Maine.
Priority is given to:
- Physicians whose practices are located in federally designated Medically Underserved Areas/Populations or Primary Care Health Professional Shortage Areas, who practice at least 50% of the time in underserved areas, and whose practice includes at least 10% MaineCare patient visits
- Physicians whose practices are not located in federally designated Medically Underserved Areas/Populations or Primary Care Health Professional Shortage Areas but are located in Primary Care Analysis Areas of under 20,000 population and at least 50% of visits are patients from federally designated underserved areas and/or MaineCare
To be considered for RMAP, physicians must be practicing in an underserved area of Maine, have performed deliveries and/or provided prenatal care and have malpractice insurance for prenatal care and/or obstetrical services between the dates of July 1 and December 31, 2023.
At least $5,000 per physician.
A link to the online application is available on the Maine Rural Health and Primary Care website.
