We offer our employees a PPO Plan (Preferred Provider Organization) administered through Harvard
Pilgrim and United Healthcare. By offering a PPO plan to our employees, they are able to make
appointments directly with specialists, both in and out of network, without the need for referrals. This plan provides coverage for usual outpatient and hospital services including emergency services, anytime, anywhere, including nationally recognized specialty and teaching hospitals.
The strategic alliance between Harvard Pilgrim Health Care and UnitedHealth Group provides access
to "best-in-class" provider networks, technology, & benefits. Our employees have in-network access
to the Harvard Pilgrim Health Care network of more than 28,000 Doctors and 135 Hospitals as well as
the United Healthcare nationwide network's 552,000 Providers and 4,765 Hospitals, with no
'state-of-residence' requirements.
The plan also covers chiropractic and vision care and provides an excellent prescription drug
program. There are also many exciting special benefits designed to support employees' wellness
goals such as partial reimbursement for fitness club memberships and participation in Weight
Watchers®, online health coaching, 24-hour nurse hotline, smoking cessation and healthy pregnancy
programs, and much more. Additionally, members also have access to many tools and services online
by going to www.myharvardpilgrim.org (for MA, NH, and ME residents) or www.myuhc.org (all other states).
