We are forwarding this notice from the state with links to new flyers informing MassHealth members & providers about available resources for food, and with information about an MTF training on June 2 & 3 on proposed new MassHealth cost-sharing rules scheduled to take effect July 1. The Notice of proposed rule-making on the cost-sharing rules came out on April 3, 2020: https://www.mass.gov/ doc/public-notice-for-130-cmr- 450000-administrative-and- billing-regulations-130-cmr- 506000-0/download The proposed rules will begin implementation of income-based caps and exempt people with income of 50% FPL or less from all MassHealth copays; the proposal did not add or increase copays. MLRI, GBLS, HCFA and HLA submitted comments strongly supporting relief from cost-sharing for low income people and making several recommendations for added relief. Comments attached.
We've also posted information on the Health Connector's new mailing address & links to updated Mail-Fax Cover Sheets & a Job Aid showing where to send documents here: https://www. masslegalservices.org/content/ new-health-connector-mailing- address
