Point32Health is making a change to our Tufts Medicare Preferred PPO product offering for the 2026 plan year. Effective Jan. 1, 2026, the $0 premium Tufts Medicare Preferred Access (PPO) plan will no longer be offered. A new premium PPO plan will be offered instead, known as Tufts Medicare Preferred PPO RX (PPO). 

The new Tufts Medicare Preferred PPO RX (PPO) plan will be offered in the same service area as the discontinued Tufts Medicare Preferred Access (PPO) plan, but will feature a different medical benefit package — which you can read more about here. 

Unlike Tufts Medicare Preferred Access (PPO), which is a $0 premium PPO plan, Tufts Medicare Preferred PPO RX (PPO) will have premiums ranging from $20 – $60 depending on the county in which the member resides: $40 for Middlesex County, $60 for Suffolk County, and $20 for all other counties. 

Tufts Medicare Preferred Access (PPO) members will not be automatically enrolled in the new Tufts Medicare Preferred PPO RX (PPO) plan. These members were notified that the plan would not be offered for 2026 and instructed to enroll in other plans of their choice during the annual open enrollment period.
