Lol, so sad.

Just wait I’ll see? As I said, my mother has both. I manage all of that. If you don’t have both then what you’re doing is arguing our reality, not your own.

If you do have both, you should really join a managed plan and get yourself one of those case managers since you clearly don’t understand the benefits.

If by not doing much you mean: pays the monthly Medicare fee (what’s that, $165/month now?), covers medications, and picks up your share of the costs from appointments after medicares paid their portion, as well as providing vision/dental care and rides to medical appointments. Then sure. It does nothing.

Those onecare and senior plans also provide additional benefits, including a whole team of case managers, home care services, and non medical rides.

I’m not really sure what you mean by “isnt true insurance”. Masshealth picks up where Medicare stops. I’m not sure what your idea of having both would mean besides…one picking up where the other leaves off. Of course it’s supplemental, you can’t have two insurers paying the exact same portion of the same bill. That doesn’t mean you don’t have both insurances.

Yes. You can. My mother has both. I also worked as a case manager for a few hundred clients who had both a few years back. You just have to be eligible for both. There’s even an entire system here in MA built for folks with both masshealth and Medicare. There’s onecare for those who are disabled under 65, then there’s things like senior whole health for those 65 or older which is a Medicare advantage plan and both combines your Medicare and masshealth benefits under one plan. Or, like many, you can use them separately with Medicare being the primary and masshealth being a secondary insurer.

You can, but you need to be financially eligible. And it’s not hard to make too much to qualify.

Since he knows it turns green my guess is it was a blinking left arrow. Are there any blinking yellows that aren’t arrows that turn green?

Do you work with a case manager at CCA? They may be able to help find a dentist/oral surgeon. Back when Fallon had a one care I worked in partnership with them and the case managers at Fallon were great at helping their clients find providers and worked directly with the providers to help schedule appointments. My understanding was that the other one cares also did this. Fallons One Care died quite a few years back so things obviously may have changed, or I could be repeating something you already know, but so many of my clients were unaware of all the benefits we/Fallon offered through their onecare until the team reached out so felt it was worth mentioning.

Framingham was close to or over $4 the other day, saw prices at $3.60 today.

I’m sure it depends but anyone I’ve ever known who forgot and let it lapse then got pulled over were allowed to just renew it right there. They see the confirmation and they’re good. But there will always be that one asshole.

Right. I got mine in April but he got his last month so definitely no changes recently. I know they stopped sending reminders for license renewals awhile ago, maybe the cop who told OP that was confused.

Both me and my boyfriend received renewal letters this year.

I’m guessing it’s the last number. Mine ends in a letter but the last number is a 4 and I had to renew in April.
