When should I report a change?
You should report changes to your information as soon as possible, but no later than 10 days from the date of the change. This includes any change to your income, address, phone number, family size, disability, job, or other health insurance.
What if I’ve lost my MassHealth renewal form?
If you have lost your renewal form, you can download a new Renewal Application for Health Coverage for Seniors and People Needing Long-Term-Care Services.
You can call MassHealth Customer Service at (800) 841-2900, TDD/TTY: 711 and use the self-service option to find out if you need to submit a renewal form and when the renewal form is due.
Make sure to submit before the deadline to ensure you do not have a lapse in coverage.
How do I add a new household member to my account?
If you are the head of household on your account, fill out and submit a new Application for Health Coverage for Seniors and People Needing Long-Term-Care Services (SACA-2) with the new household member’s information.
Remember, you need to update your information as soon as possible, but no later than 10 days from the date of the change.
What if the Head of Household on my account is deceased?
The other members in the household need to reapply. A new head of household will need to be identified. If the newly identified head of household is aged 65 or older, or they will need long term care services, they will need to submit a new Application for Health Coverage for Seniors and People Needing Long-Term-Care Services (SACA-2). If the newly identified head of household is younger than 65, then they will need to submit a new Massachusetts Application for Health and Dental Coverage and Help Paying Costs (ACA-3).
