We wanted to share an update that many of you are aware of by now. Last week the AP and other news outlets have reported that the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) entered into an agreement that will allow Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE) to have […]
We have been having issues with our faxes to Mass Health going through in one pass when they are over 7 pages. Has anyone else been experiencing any issues? We can fax to other agencies with what seems to be no problem.
We’re seeing individuals who we upload documents to the Assister Portal as Navigators, that we’ve helped for the years – NDF’s, proof of income, etc. – and then one day, the documents are no longer there.

I have a married client who is 66 yrs of age on Medicare A & B and CommonHealth. Recently she was contacted by the MassHealth Adjustment Manager to inform her that her CommonHealth premium was going from $41.60 to $106 per month. She and her spouse are not yet due for their 2024 renewal so […]
