Your family member may be able to get free care through a program called Massachusetts Health Safety Net (HSN).
This may be an option if:
-
your family member's income is low enough, or
-
if they don't qualify for MassHealth because they are not a U.S. citizen
Here's what you can do:
-
Ask your local health center about the Massachusetts Health Safety Net to see if your family member qualifies. Click the link at the bottom of the page to download a PDF list of the health centers in Massachusetts.
-
Apply for MassHealth if you have not already done so.
-
Learn more on the Health Safety Net Website.
-
If your family can't pay the MassHealth premium, apply for a Hardship Waiver. Click the link below to learn more.
