Sign Up

Residents of Massachusetts can begin signing up for Commonwealth Choice on May 1st, for a July 1st coverage date. To enroll in a Commonwealth Choice health plan, members and/or employers must pay a monthly premium. The premium will depend on the plan you choose, and must be paid every month, even if you do not use any healthcare services.

Please note: there are no income requirements for Commonwealth Choice. Any qualifying individual or family can sign up. In fact, Massachusetts is requiring all its qualifying residents to obtain health insurance by July 1, 2007. However, if your income falls below established guidelines, you may be eligible to enroll in a Commonwealth Care plan at lower or no premium costs to you.
