My Ombudsman

My Ombudsman is an independent program that empowers individuals, including their families and caregivers, to access their services provided by MassHealth and its managed care plans. We serve members of MassHealth plans by answering questions, providing information, investigating concerns, acting as mediators, discussing options, explaining appeals and grievance processes, and making referrals. My Ombudsman was delighted to attend last year’s Boston Walk for Epilepsy and would like to thank Epilepsy Foundation New England for the opportunity to share our information with participants in this year’s Virtual Walk. We wish everyone a safe, fun, successful Walk day and hope to see you in-person next year!
