MassHealth Alters Auto-Assignment

 

Due to state budget constraints, MassHealth has stopped auto-assignment of members to managed care plans (NHP, Network Health, Fallon, BMC Health Net, and Health New England). Instead, the state will auto-assign individuals who don't select a plan to the PCC Plan only. Members may still select one of the plans, but all auto-assignments will be to the PCC Plan. This change went into effect on Feb 10th.
