Transition to a single Fiscal Intermediary

 

Last year, the Massachusetts Executive Office of Health and Human Services (EOHHS) announced that starting January 1, 2022, the MassHealth Personal Care Attendant (PCA) program and Moving Forward Plan (MFP) Self-Directed Waiver program would begin using a single Fiscal Intermediary (FI) rather than using three different FIs.

EOHHS has selected Tempus Unlimited as the only Fiscal Intermediary for the PCA and MFP Self-Directed Waiver programs, beginning on January 1, 2022.

Please read the letter from MassHealth regarding this change in English or Spanish.
