What is MassHealth?
In Massachusetts, Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program are combined into a single program called MassHealth. It provides health benefits and helps in the payment of them for those who qualify for the program. Depending on the individual, MassHealth may help pay or directly pay for part of all of the person’s health insurance premiums. This provides access to many vital medical treatments that include visits to doctors and dentists, prescription medications, outpatient and residential facilities, hospital stays, and other healthcare options.
Does MassHealth Cover Drug and Alcohol Rehab?
MassHealth does cover drug and alcohol rehab under the umbrella of its behavioral health services. This includes addiction to alcohol, prescription drugs, and illegal drugs. Behavioral healthcare includes treatment for substance use disorders and mental health disorders. Many treatment facilities provide coverage for both conditions at the same time as part of their dual diagnosis treatment.
How Do I Qualify for MassHealth Insurance?
MassHealth insurance is available to qualifying seniors, children, families, and people with disabilities who live in Massachusetts. Those interested in taking advantage of MassHealth rehab centers must meet some basic requirements in order to enroll in the program. These include:
Residency: The person must live or intend to reside in Massachusetts, with or without a fixed address, or have moved to Massachusetts for a work commitment or to find employment.
Citizenship or Immigration Status: The person must be able to provide verifiable proof of their citizenship or immigration status. MassHealth may verify information provided by conducting information matches with federal and state agencies. Someone who cannot provide the requested information may receive fewer or no benefits. Anyone who is not clear on their immigration status should contact MassHealth to determine their eligibility.
Financial: The person must meet specific financial requirements which are determined by facts such as their modified adjusted gross income and who lives in their household.
If you do not have MassHealth and are interested in applying for it, you can apply online. If you already have MassHealth, make sure to renew it regularly. Every year, MassHealth reviews the accounts of its members to ensure they still qualify for their coverage. If you need to renew or are not sure if you need to do so, visit their Renew Your Coverage page. You can renew online or by calling 844-365-1841 (TDD/TTY: 711). You can use an online account you already established or create a new one.
