MassHealth CommonHealth helps people who are older, blind, or living with a disability manage their health care costs.

In some situations, working and earning money could prevent you from getting public benefits such as Medicaid. MassHealth CommonHealth allows you to work and still keep your health care coverage. You may need to pay a monthly premium and/or a co-payment for services. You may also have to pay a deductible based on your income.

MassHealth CommonHealth pays for medical and other services such as:

• Inpatient hospital care
• Outpatient medical needs (access to hospitals, clinics, doctors, dentists, family planning, and vision care)
• Medical assistance (lab tests, X-rays, therapies, pharmacy services, eyeglasses, hearing aids, and medical equipment and supplies)
• Adult day health
• Adult foster care
• Behavioral health solutions (mental health and substance abuse)
• Quit-smoking services
• Transportation
