“I consider the forum an incredible resource that enables me to receive continuing education in a very compact timeframe. Because of the information, training and networking I received through MTF, I am a more competent and confident worker.”
-Felicia Levister, Health Benefits Coordinators, Lowell Community Health Center
“It’s extremely worthwhile to send my staff to MTF meetings. They bring back to the organization not only important MassHealth updates and policy changes that help all the financial counselors with eligibility, enrollment and billing, but also great ideas from other MTF participants on methods for working with the uninsured and helping them be more receptive to the application process.”
