Is someone eligible for Commonwealth Care during their CommonHealth spend-down period?

Submitted by ADMIN Meg on February 7, 2007 - 1:11pm.

If someone has been denied MassHealth's CommonHealth program pending a spend-down, this denial makes them eligible. This person can either continue to use the Uncompensated Care Pool while attempting to meet the CommonHealth spend-down or they can enroll in Commonwealth Care.

Here are some questions to consider:

  • What are my long-term health needs, and does Commonwealth Care cover them?
  • What is the premium of each?
  • What are the co-pays for each?
  • How difficult will it be to meet the CommonHealth spenddown if I'm enrolled in Commonwealth Care?
  • Are my doctor and the care I need covered?
