Point32Health offers continued coverage of COVID-19 vaccine

Point32Health wants to make providers aware that we will continue to cover the COVID-19 vaccine for members age six months and older. This applies for all our Harvard Pilgrim Health Care and Tufts Health Plan products, as well as CarePartners of Connecticut, a joint venture of Tufts Health Plan and Hartford HealthCare.

Recently, the Food and Drug Administration limited access to COVID vaccines to people at high risk of complications from COVID and those over age 65. In response, Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey announced measures to ensure that these vaccines remain available to Massachusetts residents of all ages. The Massachusetts bulletin includes a standing order to allow pharmacies in the state to continue to provide COVID vaccines to Massachusetts residents age five or older, while children ages six months to five years can receive the vaccine through their pediatrician.

Our vaccine coverage policy is applicable for members of all our products throughout our service area.

With the variance in recommendations from states and the federal government, we anticipate that members may have questions for their physicians about COVID-19 vaccine coverage. Please share Point32Health’s vaccine coverage policy and direct patients to our dedicated member webpage on COVID-19 vaccine coverage for further information.
