Beware of Health Insurance Scams Social Media Toolkit

Overview

Not all companies that sell health insurance sell good coverage. When you search online, you may find websites that offer health plans that don’t meet legal requirements. When you apply for health coverage through the Massachusetts Health Connector, you can protect yourself from fraud by following a few simple guidelines. Many sites make you think you’re buying from the state’s health insurance marketplace. The websites look real. The plans look affordable. But the health plans often do not offer services or benefits you need. They may not meet state standards. You might end up with big bills if you need care. 

Keep in mind that the Health Connector is the only place Massachusetts residents can apply for coverage and help paying costs. If you buy through a website that isn’t the Health Connector, you could be missing out on the opportunity to get subsidies to lower the cost of your insurance.
