MASS HEALTH PLANS
Hi can I get some clarification in regards to changing a members plan online? Is it effective retro to the date of submission online or not? I believed it was if submitted online but when we go back to check 48-72 hrs later it does not show up as plan taking effect on date of […]
MH CSRs
Hello We have been having problems when patients are calling MH to change to Tufts Health together with CHA. Patients are constantly told that our doctors take Tufts Health Together and there is no need to change to our ACO or that they can’t because they live outside of the 25-mile radius even when they say […]
ACO

Now the HC insists that she owes the payment even though: 1) the plan was cancelled for non payment, so she she did […]

We are noticing that all online enrollments no matter when they were done in January are not showing up as active and only showing MH CarePlus with a need to enroll. Also some people who had […]
