Hi, I am assisting a client who is over 65 and self-employed. She is approved for partial HSN instead of full. The client sent in her 2017 Form 1040 and accompanying schedules. We called MassHealth to dispute what they are using as her income which takes her over the 150% FPL for HSN. I thought that income […]
Hi, Yesterday a client walked into my office stating her husband lost his coverage and she had not received any notification from MassHealth. Their verifications were faxed to MH on 8/18, 8/29, and 8/31/2017. My initial thought was that they had not been processed. I called MH Asst Line and asked the csr if there was a way she […]

We called today to cancel the Connector Plan and were told the cancellation would go retro to October 1. The client is asking if she will get reimbursed the […]
Hi, I just hung up the phone from speaking with a csr from the MassHealth Assister Line. This is the process I went through: 1. Pressing prompt #3 took me directly to (the interrogation) of MH Customer Service which asks client’s soc sec# or member id#, dob, etc. 2. After answering the client info questions […]
Hi, I have a client who paid her last two premium payments after the 23rd of the month and has not been able to use her insurance at the doctor’s office or the pharmacy since April. Today I was told “again” by the Connector CSR that her account is active. But that until the […]
Hi all, I assisted an over 65 citizen with a non-subsidized dental application in mid March. The fax number (877) 623-2155 on page 7 of the application has been busy for the past two days. Today I called the Connector Assister line to ask if this was the correct number. The CSR did not recognize […]
