TUFTS HEALTH UNIFY TO REBRAND AS TUFTS HEALTH ONE CARE

Tufts Health One Care (Medicare-Medicaid Plan) combines members' MassHealth and Medicare benefits into one plan with added benefits

CANTON, Mass., Nov. 14, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Point32Health, the parent company of Harvard Pilgrim Health Care and Tufts Health Plan, today announced that its Tufts Health Unify product, available to Massachusetts residents ages 21-64 who are dually eligible for Medicare and Medicaid, will change its name to Tufts Health One Care effective January 1, 2024. 

"We are proud to be one of the original One Care health plans in Massachusetts and are excited that our new name will reflect this connection," said Phil Barr, president, markets at Point32Health.
