  • MassHealth Releases 1115 Waiver Amendment for Public Comment 
August 3, 2023

On August 2, 2023, the Healey-Driscoll Administration posted for public comment a proposal to amend Massachusetts’ Section 1115 Demonstration (“1115 Demonstration”). The amendment proposes additional innovative flexibilities under the 1115 Demonstration that was approved on September 28, 2022. The Massachusetts 1115 Demonstration, currently approved through December 31, 2027, has long supported the Commonwealth’s commitment to universal health care coverage and has provided federal authority to test innovations in payment and care delivery. The posted amendment aims to advance health equity by expanding coverage and further addressing members’ health-related social needs. The proposed Amendment Request itself, as well as information about a public listening session which will be held on August 17; details on where to submit comments; and additional relevant information are available by clicking here. EOHHS will accept comments on the proposed Demonstration Amendment through September 9, 2023.
