How do I update my primary care provider?

MassHealth customer service should be contacted if you need to change the location where you see your doctor. MassHealth may be having a heavy call volume so you may experience a longer wait time. MassHealth can be reached at 1-800-841-2900.

Even though Steward Health Choice is not able to make this change for you, we are here if you have other questions please call us at 1-855-860-4949.
