Massachusetts Insurance Coverage Help
Massachusetts built the country's first state-run health insurance exchange back in 2006, years before the ACA -- today that's the Massachusetts Health Connector, working alongside MassHealth, the state's Medicaid program. GetFastRates.com is free to use for Massachusetts callers working through Medicare, ACA, life, or supplemental coverage questions.
Coverage questions in Massachusetts.
Medicare, health, life, and supplemental insurance can depend on state, carrier, enrollment timing, household details, and personal needs.
MassHealth, Massachusetts' Medicaid program, has its own dedicated contact line at 1-800-841-2900 -- that's the right place to start if your MassHealth eligibility changed.
The Massachusetts Health Connector, reachable at 1-877-MA-ENROLL, is the state's own marketplace, not HealthCare.gov -- it predates the ACA marketplace model by years and includes the state-specific ConnectorCare subsidy program.
Massachusetts brands its free Medicare counseling program SHINE (Serving the Health Insurance Needs of Everyone) rather than the more common national SHIP name -- reach it at 1-800-243-4636, separate from GetFastRates' own free phone help.

Massachusetts' 2006 health care reform law was the direct model for the ACA's marketplace structure, which is part of why the Health Connector still runs its own state-specific subsidy program, ConnectorCare, in addition to federal premium tax credits.
