- (B) Selection Procedure. The MassHealth agency will notify members of the availability of a One Care Plan in their service area and of the procedures for enrollment. An eligible member may voluntarily enroll in any One Care Plan in the member’s service area. A service area is the specific geographical area of Massachusetts in which a One Care Plan agrees to serve in its contracts with the MassHealth agency and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. Service area listings may be obtained from the MassHealth agency or its designee. The list of One Care Plans that the MassHealth agency will make available to members will include those One Care Plans that contract with the MassHealth agency and provide services within the member’s service area.
- (C) Obtaining Services When Enrolled in a One Care Plan. When a member is enrolled in a One Care Plan in accordance with the requirements under 130 CMR 508.007, the One Care Plan will authorize, arrange, integrate, and coordinate the provision of all covered services for the member. Upon enrollment, the One Care Plan is required to provide evidence of its coverage, the range of available covered services, what to do for emergency conditions and urgent care needs, and how to obtain access to specialty, behavioral health, and long-term services and supports.
(D) Disenrollment from a One Care Plan. Disenrollment requests will be effective the first day of the month following the month the request is received by the MassHealth agency or its designee.
