Temporary MassHealth -Provider Bulletin

Applicants for subsidized coverage to start on  Jan. 1, 2014 or later from MassHealth or the Connector for whom the broken computer system has been unable to make anl eligibility determination have instead been enrolled in MassHealth Standard Fee for Service coverage on a temporary basis until a re-tooled computer can make a determination later in 2014. This December 2013 Provider Bulletin from the Office of Medicaid describes this kind of coverage to providers and includes a sample copy of the notice telling people that they have temporary MassHealth Standard.
