Dear Provider:
We’re pleased to share with you that the combination of Harvard Pilgrim Health Care and Tufts Health Plan received all the necessary regulatory approvals and officially closed on January 1, 2021.
While Harvard Pilgrim Health Care and Tufts Health Plan are officially one organization, our heritage brands and products will remain in the market for a period of time as we transition technologies and processes. There are no immediate changes for our network providers — claims and reimbursement processes, policies, public websites and secure portals, vendors, and resources remain the same. The one exception is for Tufts Health Freedom Plan, which was sold to UnitedHealthcare in connection with this transaction. Please see separate communications on this subject.
As transitions are planned and poised to occur, we are committed to sharing clear, timely updates with providers to keep you well informed.
For more information about the combination, please refer to our online FAQ and visit here. We’ll be updating the FAQ as new information is available, so be sure to check back regularly.
As a reminder, you may opt out at any time by unsubscribing or changing your preferences; however, if you unsubscribe from this email, you will be opting out of all emailed news from Tufts Health Plan, including the regular quarterly Provider Updates, so we would encourage you not to do so.
Sincerely,
Tufts Health Plan
