Who must pay the fee?

All other provider types are exempt.
Important information about the fee

MassHealth does not accept paper checks for the application fee.
The application fee is non-refundable. If you don't meet the participatory requirements, or don't submit the required documentation within the stated time frame, resulting in the application being denied, then the fee will not be refunded.
