Out of state Medicaid plans cannot be accepted by them. However, they do accept the majority of major health plans including Harvard Pilgrim, Blue Cross, Blue Shield and Masshealth. A sliding fee schedule that is discounted ensures that no one will be turned away for services because they cannot afford them.
