The program provides an overview of the eligibility requirements for MassHealth, ConnectorCare and other programs, and the process for applying and enrolling in coverage.

Trainers also supply troubleshooting tips for resolving common eligibility and access to service problems in MassHealth and the Connector. This training gives outreach workers, social workers, providers, and advocates an up-to-date nuts-and-bolts overview of eligibility issues, and teaches them how to assist their patients and clients in becoming enrolled, maintaining coverage, and using their benefits.
