Live Your Life With Support

You may need long-term support due to illness, injury, a disability, or other conditions. Medicaid has you covered. If you are in one of those situations, you may be enrolled in the Commonwealth Coordinated Care Plus program. You will receive a Care Coordinator who will work with you to ensure you will receive the care you need.
