Chiming in about quality of doctors here. Moved here from MA and switched to an RI PCP. He ordered some bloodwork when I had my first visit. I had a bad feeling about this doctor, like he was barely interested in doing his job. I’m older with my share of medical issues, so after a few months I decided to switch back to my Boston doctors. I had my RI doctors office send my lab results to Boston. A couple of days later I got a call from Boston, telling me there were some alarming results in my bloodwork and that I should come in. My RI doc had these results for months and obviously never looked at them.

So, my story is completely anecdotal and is a sample size of exactly one doctor, so take this with an enormous grain of salt. That being said, it’s a story I feel is relevant here.

I moved from Boston to providence. I don't have mass health. But speaking from a person with medical issues. The drs and hospitals are awful!! Agree with above, fatima is the worst. I can tell you horror stories. To long to type, but I am sitting in my lawyers office at the moment..... Move if you want, but at all costs keep mass health and your drs!!!! Trust me!

Thank you for such a detailed response! This explains why everything I’ve read online/personal accounts from friends/people have been so unbelievably varied and I can’t figure out what’s ‘accurate’ and what’s not. I’ve had people tell me it’s absurdly easy and people tell me it’s not even worth trying. I am definitely saving this comment and going back to it when it’s closer to moving time.

Masshealth has really been a godsend and I will definitely miss it a lot, It’s really the only thing holding me back from moving lol.
