Why Harvard Pilgrim

We’re delivering on our promise to make quality, affordable care available to all. We know the ins and outs of health care in New England, but our coverage extends far beyond this corner of the country.

We have a full range of insurance solutions offering outstanding coverage, choice and value. We have plans for everyone, from small businesses to large employers.

And so much more

We deliver value

Sustainable premiums, cost savings and an excellent experience our commitment to keeping costs down is unwavering.

Strong provider network choice

More than 80,000 doctors and other clinicians in the region and 153 hospitals participate in the Harvard Pilgrim network. If you have employees outside New England, our national network offered through UnitedHealthCare gives access to 1.5 million providers and more than 6,700 hospitals.

Members also have access to a network of more than 18,000 behavioral health providers – plus confidential, accessible and convenient support and treatment options.

So Many Ways to Save

Harvard Pilgrim members can save on a wide range of products and services* to help them live a healthy life.

Lots of options for care

We want members to have more options when it comes to their care. Here are just a few examples:

• Most Harvard Pilgrim plans include coverage for acupuncture and chiropractic care, which many other insurance carriers don’t offer.
• Members are covered to receive virtual visits or telemedicine/telemental health—urgent medical care and routine behavioral health care using live video on a smartphone, tablet or computer.
• Members can receive discounts on alternative medicine services including yoga practitioners, tai chi, and our Mind the Moment program.*

*These savings programs are not insurance products. Rather, they are discounts for programs and services designed to help keep members healthy and active. Restrictions may apply. All programs subject to change without advance notice.

The Harvard Pilgrim Family of Companies.

Harvard Pilgrim is much more than a regional health plan. Our family of companies offers a wide range of group insurance options to meet the needs and goals of your employees and your business.

Your business can stay with the Harvard Pilgrim family for solutions beyond traditional fully insured offerings, such as self-insured plans for small employer groups, administrative services only (ASO) solutions and third-party administration (TPA) services with our partner, Health Plans, Inc. (HPI).

If you’re looking for a flexible plan design, we have that too – by way of doctors and hospitals, benefits coverage, cost sharing and wellness programs.

Enhancing our range of solutions are a strong provider network, valuable discounts and savings, and helpful tools such as SmartStart, which takes the hassle out of changing carriers by providing a best-in-class, comprehensive transition experience.

Whatever your need, Harvard Pilgrim has you covered.
