We are a comprehensive health plan the Cambridge Health Alliance (the Alliance) founded in 1997 to improve access to affordable health care in Massachusetts. The Alliance was named one of the original 13 health care systems eligible to offer MassHealth, a state- and federally funded program designed for low-income Massachusetts residents.

In 2006, Massachusetts passed health care reform that requires nearly all residents to have health insurance coverage. In response, Massachusetts expanded its Medicaid program to include Commonwealth Care, an additional state- and federally subsidized program designed for Massachusetts residents 19 years or older who earn at or below 300 percent of the federal poverty level, or $32,496 a year for an individual.

Today, we are one of four Medicaid Managed Care Organizations (MMCOs) contracted by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to provide health care coverage for the state’s MassHealth population and one of five MMCOs serving the Commonwealth Care population. For both plans we offer services in more than 300 cities and towns.
