Hi, I need advice on how to help members that are tax filers but they don’t have an immigration status.

Hello Loopers Does anybody know if HSN patients who have not been asked to renew in the past 2 or 3 years should be completing a new application? Or are they supposed to wait until MH sends out a notice? We keep telling them to call the MEC and follow their instructions, but I would […]

Hi, I recently read through the notes from the MassHealth Advocate’s meeting and noticed something about immigration status. It says that they will be phasing out the none of the above option for what documents someone has. Will this impact the ability for an undocumented individual to apply online? Thanks, Peter
