Hundred of thousands of Massachusetts residents could be seeing an end to their MassHealth Insurance Coverage if they don't act fast.

According to MassHealth Director, Mike Levine, "the state wants to preserve coverage for those who are eligible while ensuring that those who lose coverage don’t fall through the cracks." This redetermination process is due to the fact that the federal emergency declaration will expire on May 11 of this year.
