- Press Herald health care reporter Joe Lawlor and Deputy Managing Editor John Richardson will talk about the byzantine medical billing system in Maine.
The Portland Press Herald/Maine Sunday Telegram spent more than three months investigating the byzantine system of medical billing and insurance claims, an issue that is at the center of a high-stakes dispute between the state’s biggest hospital and its dominant health insurer. The newspaper spoke with dozens of patients who have had billing problems, reviewed their invoices and explanations of benefits, interviewed health care executives and consulted experts in the field. The reporting reveals a systemic nightmare that is not limited to any one medical provider or insurer but is pervasive across the landscape.

Cooper and Ace Flagg came to Nokomis Regional High School with incredible statewide attention that's rarely seen in Maine high school sports.

- Maine’s nonprofit sector has always been a significant part of its economy, contributing more than $12 billion a year in jobs, purchases and contracts. When the pandemic struck, it dealt nonprofits a double blow: traditional fundraisers were put on hold yet the demand for services increased. The federal government stepped in with PPP loans to help nonprofits keep their staffs, but that assistance ended last year. More help is expected, but not in the same form as PPP’s direct, forgivable loans.

- Description
- Maine made history four decades ago when it negotiated a one-of-a-kind agreement with the Penobscot, Passamaquoddy and Maliseet tribes. But the 1980 Maine Indian Claims Settlement triggered decades of clashes with the state over fishing rights, water quality regulations, economic development, and the jurisdiction of tribal courts. Now the legislature is considering rewriting the settlement, restoring tribal sovereignty and redefining the relationship between the state and its indigenous communities.
We’ll discuss the legacy of the settlement and the effort to reform it with Maulian Dana, ambassador of the Penobscot Nation. A leading advocate for the restoration of tribal rights and a powerful voice for tribal communities, Dana has changed the perception of indigenous people in Maine.
She will be interviewed by Colin Woodard, state and national affairs writer for the Portland Press Herald and a historian and author. In 2014. Woodard wrote “Unsettled,” a 2...
