Summary
Point32Health is reminding providers about Harvard Pilgrim GIC product updates for the 2026-2027 plan year beginning July 1, 2026. The two products (Quality HMO and Explorer POS) maintain the same tiering methodology, with most providers keeping their current tier assignments, though Quality HMO requires network participation verification before treatment.
Action Required
Before July 1, 2026: Billing team must verify network participation for Harvard Pilgrim Quality HMO patients before scheduling treatment, as this limited-network product excludes some contracted providers. Update patient eligibility verification procedures to confirm tier assignments and copayment structures for both Quality HMO and Explorer POS plans. Review the Fast Facts document and tiered network plans section on Point32Health provider website for updated product details.
