Contact the Massachusetts Division of Insurance. Here is the website: http://www.mass.gov/?pageID=ocaagencylanding&L=4&L0=Home&L1=Government&L2=Our+Agencies+and+Divisions&L3=Division+of+Insurance&sid=Eoca Birthstone RingsHow do MA residents feel about the massachusetts commonwealth health insurance connector?I live in Utah and a bill to reform healthcare in a similar way is being presented by Governor Jon Huntsman Jr. in the next legislative session. I would like candid responses to this question, whatever your position. I live in Ohio, but I am originally from New England (Vermont). While your question is directed specifically at people from Mass, I feel compelled to answer because ultimately it will effect all of us. As you said, your in Utah and they are considering the same thing. Health insurance in Massachusetts seems to be very expensive...which is the cheapest insurance in ma?I am planning to get pregnant..Actually i have health insurance covered by my husband's work but it will not cover pregnancy.. You will be hard pressed to find "cheap health" insurance when you already have health insurance, but you can try CHP, Child health Care Plus, it is available for people based on their income and need. Also, if you are going by the handbook your husband got from insurance company don't. Call them and ask. You may also be able to find a place that will give you a discount based on your ability to pay. Call the county office where you live and ask them what you options have (after you confirm with current insurance company). High stakes in health battle - Boston GlobeTHE KNOCKDOWN fight between Tufts Medical Center and Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts over the reimbursement rate for doctors at the hospital is Exhibit B of the dysfunction of the state's health insurance system. Exhibit A, of course, is the much better rate that Partners HealthCare muscled Blue Cross into granting to its teaching hospitals, Mass. General and Brigham and Women's, in 2000. Two sides of the same coin, these deals cry out for reform. Doctors who meet quality standards while handling complex cases at academic centers should get uniform reimbursement - not just from private insurers but from Medicaid and Medicare as well. Reformed rates should also better reward primary care. But comprehensive changes will have to await action by a payment reform commission that the Legislature called for last year. Lamentably, that panel has yet to meet. In the meantime, Tufts said Monday that talks with Blue Cross, the state's largest insurer, had reached a stalemate. Starting Feb. 1, Tufts doctors will no longer take part in the Blue Cross HMO plan. |
