Everything you ever wanted to know about MassHealth but got put on hold for too long to ask
In this workshop, folks can come and learn about all the different free and low cost health insurance options in Massachusetts, including MassHealth, Commonwealth Care, and Freecare. We will look at how to apply, who is eligible, who do you call if you have problems or questions, and what exactly does it cover. We will also talk about local community health centers and clinics where folks can get free or low cost care even without insurance.
We will also talk about how to best "navigate the system" with plenty of time for folks to ask questions and figure out best solutions.
