Dear lisajo,
For a comprehensive list of all public programs, I recommend that you look at the Health Care Options Matrix™ Guide which is the only hand-held guide available that outlines all of each state’s public and private health care choices for individuals and groups in almost every demographic profile, as well as offering a reference list of phone numbers and web sites. For your State, visit http://coverageforall.org/pdf/matrix/MA_Matrix.pdf .
Sincerely,
Amir Mostafaie
Commonwealth Health plans use the Masshealth paperwork. Re-submit the paperwork to commonweath and wait for their response. Once you select a health plan, you can communicate with the health plans customer service representatives. They are much more helpful and curteous. I have had nothing but good dealings with Neighborhood Health and their Care Manager program. An alternative is to keep calling until you get someone that is helpful, If that fails, contact your state rep. ask them to intervene.
Under 30k in Massachusetts should be considered poverty level due to the cost of living here. It's like 15k in most parts of the country.
Best of luck!
