State Coverage Program is a refresher presentation on MassHealth, the state’s Medicaid program.  In this session we'll discuss how MGB primary care practices serve patients on these programs, including answers to the following questions:

• Why do some patients get MassHealth, while others get ConnectorCare and Health Safety Net?
• Which patients are in the MassHealth ACO and why are others excluded?
• Which MassHealth patients can be seen in Partners primary care practices?
• When might patients lose their MassHealth coverage and how can they get back on?
• Where can patients go for help with their MassHealth?
