Affordable, high-quality coverage from the Health Connector

ConnectorCare plans have $0 or low monthly premiums, low out-of-pocket costs, and no deductibles.

What kind of coverage do you get with ConnectorCare?

ConnectorCare plans offer great coverage with important benefits like doctor visits, prescription medications, and emergency care. ConnectorCare plans have low monthly premiums, low co-pays, and no deductibles. Plus, you may be able to fill certain prescription medicines at no cost for chronic health conditions like asthma, coronary artery disease (a type of heart disease), diabetes, and hypertension (high blood pressure).

There are different ConnectorCare Plan Types, which are based on your income. All of the plans offered for each Plan Type will have the same benefits and co-pays for covered services. You can see the co-pays for different services in the chart on the next page. You can also see examples of the monthly premiums for each Plan Type.

ConnectorCare plans are offered by leading insurers in the state. Each insurer’s plan may have different doctors or hospitals in their provider networks. Before you enroll, use our online tools to see if the providers you want and the prescription drugs that you need are covered in the plan’s network. You can find these tools at: PlanFinder.MAhealthconnector.org.
