![]() ![]() If a MassHealth recipient got selected for redetermination review on April 15, Levine said, the “blue envelope” mailed to them signifying that status might not arrive until April 20. “But if you got selected for renewal as a MassHealth member in April, if you do not respond or you respond but it takes us a while to process, you’re not going to see a coverage impact until more like the late May, early June timeframe.” “There’s not a lot to see in April because we were just getting started and we took a very measured approach in April to begin to select members for renewal,” Levine told reporters. Impacts from the gargantuan effort to figure out who is still eligible might not become clear for several more weeks because of the lag time involved in the first batch of redeterminations, Levine said. The Healey administration on Thursday outlined a new digital dashboard summarizing data from the first month of the redetermination process, which will decide how many people can remain on publicly-funded health insurance for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic began.Ībout a third more people fell off the MassHealth rolls in April than in March, but despite the early impacts, overall enrollment saw a net increase because about 18,700 people joined the insurance program over the course of the month - a tally officials described as relatively routine.Īssistant Secretary for MassHealth Mike Levine described the topline MassHealth growth in April as “a little bit counterintuitive.” BOSTON (SHNS) – More than 12,000 people left MassHealth coverage in April, and top state officials expect those numbers to grow significantly in the coming months as the process of redetermining eligibility for about 2.4 million Bay Staters ramps up. ![]()
