Point2Health and Tufts Health Plan will transition administrative operations of the US Family Health Plan (USFHP) to Brighton Marine and its subcontractors, effective for dates of service beginning Jan. 1, 2027. 

Claims for dates of service prior to Jan. 1, 2027 will be accepted and processed as usual through March 31, 2027. Claims filed after March 31, 2027, or for dates of service on or after Jan. 1, 2027, will be processed by Brighton Marine’s claims processing subcontractor, Signature Performance.

Providers who have not contracted directly with Brighton Marine will need to do so prior to the new plan year in order to remain in-network for USFHP. If you want to check your contract status or inquire about contracting with Brighton Marine for USFHP, please contact [email protected]. 

Providers currently credentialed by Tufts Health Plan Commercial will be accepted as credentialed by Brighton Marine through the current scheduled recredentialing date. If you or any individual providers in your practice are not currently credentialed through Tufts Health Plan as part of the USFHP plan offering, Brighton Marine will require time to process a credentialing application before adding your practice to the network panel for 2027. Please contact Brighton Marine directly for any questions around credentialing for 2027 onward.

Brighton Marine will publish further operational updates for USFHP network providers on USFamilyHealth.org/for-providers/ as the transition progresses, including a new Provider Manual, instructions to apply for new credentialing, or ways to update provider demographic data.

As we’ve identified previously, nearly all Tufts Health Plan Commercial members have already transitioned to Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Commercial plans. USFHP was the exception; with the transition of USFHP to Brighton Marine, Point32Health Tufts Health Plan Commercial line of business will be sunsetted. We will continue to proudly offer our Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Commercial products, Tufts Health Plan Senior Products, and Tufts Health Public Plans.
