As many of you may be aware, serious problems have been brewing with Masshealth & their new administrator. We have been very close to being forced to stop taking it or cutting back our medicaid operations due to the inability of their new system to process claims.

Another pediatric dentist has created this petition in an attempt to draw the attention of legislators to this issue.

Recently a number of local practices have dropped Masshealth and/or stopped taking new Masshealth patients. We do not want to follow suit. Please take a minute of your time to sign this petition as the issue is still on going.

Fix MassHealth Dental Crisis

It's been exactly 6 years to the date that Hampshire Meadow Family & Pediatric Dentistry opened its doors! 8-10-2019. As we pass this date it is very fitting that Dr. Nubani would complete a difficult case such as this. On Friday utilizing cerec software, CAD-CAM dentistry, years of staining & glazing experience (and of course continued education), and proper planning Dr. Nubani completed this case in a single appointment. It was an extremely difficult case due to canine substitution, presence of crowding, and shade matching of a single anterior restoration. She is a perfectionist and she nailed it on this one 👌🏽👌🏽🙏🏼. In order to hide the margin she utilized retraction cord so we will see a nice blend at the gumline within a week!!

A beautiful day in Hadley. Were hopeful to have the roof completed soon. Huge thanks to Larry Tuttle of Architectural Insights for designing such a beautiful building and for making it a reality.

It is truly a blessing to see so many children smiling in our office on a daily basis. To know some have that smile given back to them by us is deeply emotional and the reason why we try so hard. This young 4 year old was ecstatic about his teeth 4 weeks after his procedure. We didn't even need to ask for smile to take some photos since he could not stop smiling!!

This case was completed by Dr. Safizadeh, one of our board certified pediatric dentists.

Claims are not processing but we received a sufficient enough emergency payment to continue seeing Masshealth patients. Below (in the comments) is the letter sent by the MDS president to the president of Masshealth recently. We are committed to advocating for our patients and keeping them aware of this awful situation regarding their insurance.

This Mom unfortunately had her previously root canal treated central incisor crack at the gum line this past mother's day. She called and we had her in 7am Monday morning. Dr. Safizadeh one of our pediatric dentist's was able restore her tooth with a fiber post and same day crown. He also completed a resin composite for her lateral incisor which had a large cavity as well. It is rare to find a pediatric dentist that has this skill set however years of treating teenagers with severe decay and CE (continuing education) courses in CEREC digital dentistry has made cases like this rather easy for him. We strive to be an in network office and accept Masshealth which means we treat cases like this often allowing us to gain valuable experience each time. Dentistry is an art form and a life long learning lesson. The goal is to achieve preps like shown and esthetic results like this 100% of the time.

We have been nominated in the Gazette’s Best of the Valley, Reader’s Choice Award. As many of you know our young practice is only six year old. It is incredible how much we have grown and in less than a year we will be in our new building located at 101 East Street in Hadley hopefully by Winter 2026.

We are constantly investing in the most cutting edge technology, equipment, and staff. Please take a moment to vote for us in the Gazette’s best of the Valley readers poll. It would be truly appreciated and help us reach our goal of building the premier dental office in the Valley for our patients & staff.

For the third year in a row Hampshire Meadow Family & Pediatric Dentistry is a sponsor of Amherst Youth Baseball. We are also for the first time sponsors of Hadley's Cal Ripken Youth baseball league. Last year we surpassed over $5,000 in charitable donations and sponsorships. We hope to surpass that number this year and are already off to a good start ⚾️⚾️⚾️!!!!

Here is where we are at. This is an important message for all our Masshealth patients.

Masshealth has informed us of two things.

1. They are sending us one time emergency payment for claims from March 15th-April 7th. Their system is not able to process these claims yet which is concerning so it is an estimated payment. As of today we still have not received it but we were told by the end of the week.

2. We were informed that in 2 weeks claims will begin processing. However, we have seen dates be given and pushed back at the last minute over the last Month.

We are cautiously optimistic that Masshealth & Benecare (which we still barely have any true correspondence with) will honor its these commitments. We truly hope there is a true effort to resolve the situation.
