A reminder that we will be having our regular 4th Wed of the month Health Care Working Group meeting on Wed Feb 28 at 3-4:30. The zoom link should be in your calendar already. The agenda will include hearing from those in attendance on top of mind issues as well as:
- a summary of some the recent eligibility changes that we will also be presenting at the Feb 29 Health Access Training
- discussion of recent MassHealth plans for community engagement on its justice-involved initiatives (applications due March 8), plans for a new member-focused advisory committee & an opportunity to provide input on the planning, and for a new advisory committee connected to its recent RFR for a single entity to both make clinical assessments and make authorization decisions for certain LTSS.
