Hi Assisters, My office (MLRI) is doing some work with grandparents raising grandchildren (with no parent in the home –birth parent or adoptive parent) & I wanted to check with you all to confirm that HIX is not counting the grandparent’s income when they apply for the grandchild–whether grandparents claim child as dependent or not […]
I know I can’t be the only having this issue……When a determination is completed by DES it is sent back to Mass Health to enter the information in they system. EVERY time I call to get a determination I am told MH can’t see it? This time the particular case is for a DDU that was […]
Hi, It is our understanding that if a member gets a MassHealth pending status (not approved until required documents are processed), that their start date should be 10 days prior to the date the documents were received. We have seen several cases where the 10 days retro is to the date we call to ask […]
We have been having problems with faxing (857-323-8300 and 617-887-8799) since Tuesday. SACAs fax and ACAs fax are both not responding. Does anybody know what is happening and when will it be fixed?

Hi All, I don’t know if anyone is noticing this same problem but if we could bring this up to Masshealth and the Health Connector, it would be appreciated. It is my understanding that they are adding a lot of new staff for Open Enrollment and they are really making a mess of things. I […]
I haven’t seen MassHealth publish this information to the Assister community yet (it was provided to the MCO/ACOs on 10/26/17), but just so everyone is aware, MassHealth assignment logic is no longer allowing members to enroll into MCOs that are being sunsetted on 02/28/2018 (i.e. Celticare, HNE, Fallon, and Neighborhood Health). Members can only select from the non-sunsetting […]
Good Morning, As may you may be experiencing high call volumes of new applicants from Puerto Rico trying to apply for masshealth, these people are moving here with relatives , need medications , doctor visits and more. The state of Florida is overwhelmed with this situation, is there a place where we can send them to […]
