Can I have both MassHealth and Medicare?

Yes, it is possible to have both MassHealth and Medicare. MassHealth is a state program that provides healthcare coverage for low-income individuals and families in Massachusetts, while Medicare is a federal health insurance program for people who are 65 and older or have certain disabilities. If you qualify for MassHealth and are also eligible for Medicare, you can have both coverages. MassHealth may help cover Medicare premiums, deductibles, and coinsurance, which can help reduce your out-of-pocket expenses. It can also provide additional benefits not covered by Medicare, such as dental, vision, and extended nursing home care. To enroll in both programs, you need to apply separately for MassHealth and Medicare. It is important to understand the specific eligibility criteria and coverage options for each program. Consulting with a MassHealth representative or visiting their official website can provide you with more detailed information regarding your specific circumstances.
