Network Health expands to Lynn, Salem

Network Health, a Massachusetts health plan, announced today an expansion of its network to serve MassHealth members in Lynn and Salem.

Network Health of Cambridge, which counts more than 110,000 members, provides access to healthcare to low- and moderate-income residents in Massachusetts.

MassHealth is the state's Medicaid program.

"Although Network Health members have had access to many of the North Shore's leading healthcare institutions for many years, we can now offer Network Health enrollment to all MassHealth-eligible Lynn and Salem residents, and provide those enrollees with a full network of primary and specialty care providers through our partnerships with leading North Shore hospitals, health centers, and physician practices," Christina Severin, executive director of Network Health, said in a statement.
