 Understanding
MassHealth Members with
Disabilities
The goal of this
policy report is to promote a better and broader understanding of
non-elderly MassHealth members
with disabilities. This group of MassHealth members is
exceptionally diverse and no
report of this kind can possibly explain or explore all of its
important nuances and
subtleties. We have attempted to highlight major characteristics
and trends in order to support
a more informed public discussion of key policy issues that face
the MassHealth program in
financing care for members with disabilities. The
report focuses only on members under the age of 65 who qualify for
MassHealth on the basis of a
disability. It does not include elderly members with disabilities
or non-elderly MassHealth members with
disabilities who qualify for coverage on a basis
other than disability, such as being a member of a low-income
family.
