As of January 1, 2026, MassHealth is increasing monthly premium billing amounts by 10%. MassHealth expects the increase is between $2 – $10 per month for members with countable income of over 150% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL).
Starting in March of 2027, MassHealth will increase premium billing amounts yearly by the same percentage that the annual FPL limits increases. For example, the percentage increase between the annual 2024 and 2025 FPL rates was approximately 2.9%. So, under the new policy, MassHealth’s premium billing amount would have also increased by 2.9%. Members will have their premiums redetermined yearly. MassHealth will notify members in advance of their new amount.
