MassHealth, the Massachusetts, Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program is teaming up with Maven, the largest telemedicine provider for women’s and family health to provide free telemedicine services for women and families in Massachusetts.
In the wake of COVID-19, women and families are dealing with a myriad of health concerns, from managing conditions related to a high risk pregnancy to being discharged from hospitals soon after giving birth to caring for a newborn. Telehealth now plays an essential role in giving these women and families the support and care they need from the safety of their own homes.
Powered by Maven’s network obstetric/gynecologists, maternal fetal medicine specialist, pediatricians, family physicians, and general practitioners, MassHealth will provide free telemedicine appointments for members with COVID-19 symptoms for women and families in Massachusetts. MassHealth members will be connected through an online navigation tool to Maven providers through on-demand chat and video appointments 24 hours a day through the use of any web-enabled device.
“During the COVID-19 emergency, MassHealth has made unprecedented efforts to eliminate barriers to health care access, including expansive coverage of telehealth services,” said Acting Medicaid Director Amanda Cassel Kraft. “We are excited to announce this partnership with Maven to provide medical support to our members seeking guidance on COVID-19 symptoms or risk factors.”
