I'd like to hear from people who've had to apply for MassHealth for nursing-home services for elderly relatives -- especially if your relative was coming to MA from out-of-state. What was your experience like? How much did you end up paying out-of-pocket? What organizations did you contact (and how helpful were they)?

While I don't even have second hand experience dealing with them for nursing home services, miss_demeanor71's experience with MassHealth has demonstrated that they are very poorly organized. She has often gotten differing, mutually exclusive, answeres to the same question when she's asked several diffrent people, each of whom claimed to have the difinitve answer.

I wish I could offer you advice, but all I have is luck.

Heh, sounds exactly like the private employer-based insurance company I pay $150/mo for. Except Masshealth provides a lot more comprehensive coverage, and has a bigger provider network. :/
