Avoiding Balance Billing with Non-Massachusetts Providers – This information applies to non-Medicare members and their eligible dependents. These members can avoid balance billing when they are traveling outside Massachusetts by using UniCare Travel Access providers. (Balance billing is the practice of a provider billing a patient for all charges above the allowed amount that are not paid for by the patient's health plan.) Student dependents living out of state can also use Travel Access providers. In addition, all Basic members, and PLUS members who reside in Connecticut, Maine, New Hampshire or Rhode Island, also have access to UniCare network providers in their state at the same benefit level as with Massachusetts providers.
