- Group Insurance Commission
Tufts Health Plan and Harvard Pilgrim Health Care recently announced plans to merge. GIC members enrolled in one of these plans should be aware that this proposal will need to move through what could be a yearlong state and federal regulatory process. During this process, Harvard Pilgrim and Tufts will continue to operate as separate, independent companies and as two competitors among many in the markets they serve. GIC members should experience no disruption in their service. Any specific questions about the merger should be directed to your health insurance carrier.
