I called MH for a pt that got Medicare 10/2021 and has/had Care Plus. I called and spoke to over 65 about converting to Standard, and she said I had to call the under 65 for it. Under 65 said they cannot do anything and said to do an over 65 review. That he does […]
Hello Over 65 patients are still receiving old renewals by mail. They do fill them out and return to MH. Hopefully MH is not returning them to the patients for being old, correct?

She is having trouble accessing a 28-day inpatient substance use disorder treatment program because she was told that Medicare does not cover the program and she can’t use the MassHealth…?

Hello! The new eligibility responses in MMIS show patients having Standard and Limited on the same day. I thought it could be a pregnant patient, but that is not the case. Any reason it is showing like this? Is this correct, patients now can have both eligibilities? How can that be? and should we be […]
Any news on if the protections are ending ?
I have a client who had a medical emergency in Maine last year. She has gone back and forth between MassHealth and the hospital in Maine. MassHealth states that unless the hospital is enrolled as a MassHealth provider, they won’t pay the claim. The hospital states that they “will not” enroll as a MassHealth provider […]
