In the wake of the cybersecurity incident we identified on April 17, we have returned our core Harvard Pilgrim Health Care systems, business functions, and tools online and wanted to share an overview of recent announcements.
AbleTo’s personalized therapy program is now available to Tufts Health Direct, Tufts Health Together-MCO, and Tufts Medicare Preferred members, and will continue to be offered to Harvard Pilgrim Health Care commercial and Stride (HMO/HMO-POS) Medicare Advantage members.
Integra will soon begin to assume management of the DMEPOS provider network for Point32Health’s Senior Products, starting on July 1, 2023 for Tufts Medicare Preferred and Tufts Health Plan Senior Care Options, and on Sept. 1, 2023 for Harvard Pilgrim Stride (HMO)(HMO-POS) Medicare Advantage.
Point32Health is pleased to announce that we will be opening the doors to our Canton office this summer to host providers for claims consultations. The event will be an opportunity for providers to meet with our Provider Relations team, who will be available as a resource to support you by answering questions you may have about claims.
Effective immediately, any products listed on the Harvard Pilgrim Health Care commercial, Tufts Health Plan commercial, and Tufts Health Direct formularies that have not been approved by the FDA will be excluded from coverage, in alignment with the information listed on our Evidence of Coverage documents and Member Handbooks.
