Central Maine Power Company (CMP) reports a rash of calls from customers who have received bill collection calls from a person claiming to represent CMP. Some customers have been instructed to deposit cash or a money order into bogus accounts through convenience store cash transfer systems. Others have been instructed to call a specified number and provide financial information for the payment. The caller has tried to work his deception mostly on the owners of small businesses and restaurants in the

Lewiston-Auburn, Portland and Augusta areas. CMP is alerting customers to this scam and offers these tips to keep account information secure: • CMP will not call a customer for payment if his or her account is in good standing; • Customers who need to make an urgent payment should do so only through the CMP website, or at one of the payment agents listed on the website at www.cmpco.com • Customers who have any questions about a call for an overdue payment are urged to contact CMP by calling 1800-750-4000.

The transition will be complete on Oct. 1 when St. Andrews closes its emergency care unit and does away with 25 hospital beds. Meanwhile, Anthem is seeking permission from the state to cancel certain health insurance policies and move their customers to a new one that excludes hundreds of doctors along with Central Maine Medical Center in Lewiston, Bridgton and Rumford Hospitals, York Hospital, Parkview in Brunswick and Mercy Hospital in Portland. That means that many Anthem policyholders in communities like Rumford, Bridgton, Lewiston and Auburn, will have to travel many miles to Maine Medical Center in Portland or other facilities and doctors in southern Maine that accept the new policy. The new website, which is backed by Friends of Central Maine Healthcare, contains the facts behind these recent developments and urges people to attend a public hearing in Auburn on Thursday, Aug. 29 to oppose Anthem’s plan. The hearing is their chance to tell state regulators that they want to keep seeing their local doctor and keep their current health care plan. One of the reasons behind the website is because local doctors and health care officials are hearing from concerned patients about what the changes mean for their medical care. “President Obama promised that we wouldn’t have to switch doctors under the Affordable Care Act and that there wouldn’t be any changes to our existing health care plans,” said Brenda Weeks, a patient advocate from Auburn. “But now Anthem and MaineHealth are trying to hijack the rules. Why? Just so they can make more money?” The website contains a quote from President Obama when he urged Congress to pass the Affordable Care Act: “I know that there are millions of Americans who are content with their health care coverage — they like their plan and, most importantly, they value their relationship with their doctor. They trust you. And that means that no matter how we reform health care, we will keep this promise to the American people: If you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor, period. If you like your health care plan, you’ll be able to keep your health care plan, period. No one will take it away, no matter what.” But now Anthem has joined with MaineHealth to sabotage the President’s promise and make it harder for thousands of people to keep their current coverage and get medical care in their own community. The public hearing before the Maine Bureau of Insurance will be held at 5 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 29 at Kirk Hall on the Central Maine Community College campus, 1250 Turner Street, in Auburn.
