Dirigo Health – Recently the Dirigo Health Agency’s Board of Directors voted that Dirigo Health had saved Maine’s healthcare system $41.7 million dollars for 2006.
If approved by the Superintendent of Insurance, this $41.7 million will become the amount of the Savings Offset Payment (Dirigo Tax) beginning January 1, 2007. This 2007 SOP would produce a very similar 2.4% tax on all health claims that the Dirigo began imposing in 2006.
