MassHealth Offering Webinars on Upcoming MassHealth Renewal Process

At the beginning of the COVID-19 public health emergency (PHE), the federal government implemented continuous coverage requirements.

In response to these requirements, MassHealth put protections in place that prevented members’ MassHealth coverage from ending. These protections have been in place since February 2020.

The federal government will end continuous coverage requirements on April 1, 2023.

At this time, MassHealth will return to their standard annual eligibility renewal processes and all members will need to complete a renewal to ensure they still qualify for their current benefit. These renewals will take place over 12 months, from April 2023 – 2024.

In order to minimize the number of qualified members that lose coverage, MassHealth is working closely with its partners, including the provider community, to make sure members know how to renew their coverage and are aware of other affordable health coverage options if needed.

MassHealth is offering informational webinars next week that are open to all providers who serve MassHealth members.

During each info session, they will:

• Give a general overview of redeterminations
• Explain what a MassHealth renewal is
• Discuss why renewals are especially important this upcoming year (2023 – 2024)
• Share what you can do you to support MassHealth members in preparing for and understanding how to complete renewals
