Hello Loopers, In honor of the start of summer tomorrow we thought we would kick things off with starting an ITL-MA book club! Do you have a book recommendation for the Looper community?

Hello Loopers, A MassHealth member was told by CST that their pcp accepted BMC HealthNet and that they should select the plan as their MCO.

A caller contacted the HelpLine because she went back into her application to change tax information and was unable to move forward.

We have been having issues with with website again today. There is now a message saying the federal hub is down, we have also received the triangle of trouble pop-up. When counselors have called the Connector and MassHealth they have reported issues as well and said to call back.
I spoke with a blind MassHealth member who is having issues with completing the application online. The screen reader is not working on her iphone or on her desktop computer. On the iphone the screen reader keeps defaulting to the first menu when creating the username and password, so she cannot move past that step. On the […]
