No One Does More to Keep You Healthy

We are a Local Health Plan with a National Reputation for Excellence.
Choosing a health plan is an important, personal decision—you want the best for yourself and your family. Tufts Health Plan was founded in 1979 as a not-for-profit HMO. Since then, Tufts Health Plan has expanded, offering a full array of health care coverage options that provide high-quality coverage and service.

A National Leader in Quality

Tufts Health Plan strives to deliver the highest quality products and service. We're proud that The National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) has again awarded our Health Maintenance Organization (HMO), Point of Service (POS), and Exclusive Provider Organization (EPO) plans its highest status of Excellent Accreditation. NCQA's "Excellent" Accreditation status is reserved for the best health plans in the nation; it is only awarded to those plans that meet or exceed NCQA's rigorous requirements for consumer protection and quality improvement and deliver excellent clinical care.
- In addition, our PPO (Preferred Provider Organization) plan received Full Accreditation, the highest accreditation available to PPO plans.
- Tufts Health Plan also received NCQA's new Quality Plus Distinctions in Care Management and Health Improvement (HMO/POS/EPO), and Member Connections (HMO/POS/EPO/PPO).
