(1,472 posts)I'm in MA and use Commonwealth Care-a step up from MA health (which our state's version of Medicaid). Here's the connector website: https://www.mahealthconnector.org/portal/site/connector/
It sounds like he could be eligible for MA health-the application is on the website (see above post). This could cover him for everything. Commonwealth Care has different plan types and is based on income, so that could be an option as well.
Also, being a member of MA Health or the lower Commonwealth Care types create eligibility for other state and private help. For example, Columbia Gas gives up to a 20% discount for Type I and Type II plans.
All I can say, is that it works for me, I'm very grateful to be a resident here.
Best wishes to you both!
