Massachusetts Executive Office of Elder Affairs MassHealth Redetermination Update

November 2, 2023

Background on MassHealth Redetermination

Due to the federal government ending the continuous coverage requirements on April 1, 2023, MassHealth has returned to their regular renewal processes. 

MassHealth now needs to renew all members’ health coverage to ensure they still qualify for their current benefit. These renewals will take place over 12 months, from April 2023 to April 2024. This means that members could get their renewal forms (many in a blue envelope) in the mail at any time during this one-year period​.
