Hi Everyone,
I am sending this out on behalf of Melissa Boynton from DHHS. There is a new Maine Law for Death Certificates that will go into effect on July 1, 2018. Please see the attached letter written by DHHS.
I realize that letters have gone out to most hospitals already from DHHS, but I wanted to be sure that everyone, including all physician offices and MeHIMA members, received this information.
Please contact Melissa Boynton for all on-boarding, training, and questions:
