| What if I can't get PDF forms? |
Some pages attached to our site are in PDF format. To reach these pages,
you need Adobe Acrobat Reader. If you do not have this program, when
you click on your mouse to view the form, you won't be able to see it.
You can get the Reader for free from the Adobe site. To download it, click
the icon below and follow the instructions. (At Step #2, remember to look at
the check boxes. If you have an older computer without much memory, you may
want not want the "full version". You may also want to uncheck other boxes with
offers of demo software or other information.)
If for some reason you can't make this work, or don't want the Reader,
call
us. We will mail you the forms. For court forms, go to your
nearest district court.

| I have Acrobat Reader but I can't get the
self-calculating forms to work. Why not? |
A few of our forms will do math calculations for you. However, you
need a recent version of Adobe Reader for them to work well. We recommend
using the most recent version or, at least 7.0. For more help take a look at
our Troubleshooting Page.

| How can I save my forms using CutePDF or Foxit Reader? |
To save your completed forms, the best software we've found is either
CutePDF's Form Filler
or Foxit Reader
.
These are both easy-to-use products. Foxit is free, and CutePDF inexpensive.
When you go to their site, you will see that they are offering a free evaluation version. If
you try it and like it, and you do a lot work with .pdf forms, you can buy this software for only $29.95.
Here is one way to get the software and use it:
- Step 1: Go to one of the above websites and follow
the instructions for downloading the software onto your computer.
- Step 2: Find the form you want and "right click" to download it to your computer
- Step 3: Save the file to your desktop or a folder where you can find it.
- Step 4: Open Foxit Reader or CutePDF Form Filler and click on "open."
- Step 5: Browse and select the file you saved on your computer to open it.
- Step 6: Fill out the form and then save it as you would any file.
You'll notice that many forms include a "Reset" button. If you click on this, you will clear the
form so that the next user will see a blank form, not your completed form.

| How do I find a specific drug on the MaineCare Preferred Drug List? |
Go to the
Preferred Drug List site. If you have the software to view it, open the most recent Excel version. The list
is very long. "Preferred Drugs" are listed in Column C (third column from the left).
To find a drug quickly, use your mouse to click on any drug. Then hit Control-F on your keyboard--hitting F
while holding down the Control key. Type the name of the drug you are looking for in the field labeled
"Find what:" Then press the Enter key. You must be careful to spell the drug correctly. If your spelling doesn't
match up, the program won't find your drug. If your drug's name has several words, you can type in just one
of the words. (Example: A search for "monohydrate" will find "cephalexin monohydrate.") Notice that if your drug
shows up in the fifth Column, Column E, it is a "non-preferred drug" and must get special approval. If you
cannot view an Excel file on your computer but you have Adobe Acrobat Reader, you can veiw that version of the
list. It will be harder to use because you can't search the document quickly, as you can with the Excel version.
