Hi, We have a child whose parents have join custody (50/50 split). The child receives New Hampshire Medicaid through his mother (who lives in NH and is on NH Medicaid herself). The father lives in MA and is on MassHealth. Can he also apply and receive MassHealth through his father? Thanks for any insight! Julie
Hi Loopers, Thought this issue went away and now it seems to be back again – we are seeing patients with Medicare who are given MassHealth CarePlus instead of Standard. The messages states they need to pick a plan, but of course when they call they are told they can’t pick a plan because they […]

Does anyone know what this means? Are they looking for proof of residency or something else? These are all homeless individuals […]
Hi all, We’ve always sent in Permission to Share Information (PSI) forms to MassHealth with my name (as the manager) and the organization’s information. This has allowed any of our staff to call in and be given the rights provided by the PSI. Over the last week or so I’ve had three different staff call in about various […]
