Welcome from Interim Medicaid Director Terry Dougherty


The MassHealth program provides comprehensive health insurance—or help in paying for private health insurance—to more than one million Massachusetts children, families, seniors, and people with disabilities. MassHealth is the second largest health insurer in the state and is nationally recognized for providing high-quality care in an innovative and cost-effective manner.

Like the MassHealth program itself, this Web site is designed to meet the differing needs of many different types of visitors. Whether you are a MassHealth member, a provider, someone looking to apply for coverage, a researcher, or simply someone who is interested in who we are and what we do, this Web site can help you.

If you explore our Web site, here’s just a sampling of what you will find:

  • an overview of MassHealth programs and eligibility information;

  • applications for MassHealth coverage;

  • health plan enrollment information;

  • member and provider regulations;

  • provider bulletins;

  • provider billing, and prior authorization information; and

  • MassHealth annual reports.

If you can’t find the information you need, the “Contact Us” page can tell you whom to call to answer your particular question.

At MassHealth, we are committed to providing not only high-quality health care, but also excellent customer service to both members and providers. This Web site is a reflection of that commitment. We hope you will spend some time exploring the site, and learning more about how MassHealth can help you.
