Remember, as the consumer it's your right to make an informed decision. Through this board, you can receive information on any licensed physician in Massachusetts. Information available includes the physician's educational background, their specialty affiliation, and any malpractice or disciplinary history. If you are currently receiving Medicaid, you may be asked to move into a managed care primary clinician plan. A pamphlet which is helpful is, How to join MassHealth managed care .
Copies are free of charge.
Each managed care health plan has a different procedure for changing physicians. Contact your member service representative to find out the specifics of your plan. Remember, document your phone conversations and request all information in writing.
