Harvard retirees age 65 or over participating in either Medex (BCBS) or Harvard Pilgrim Medicare Enhance (HPHC) are welcome to begin or continue their health care at HUHS.
Retirees formerly with the Harvard University Group Health Plan (HUGHP) may continue to see their same physicians or other HUHS service providers and to access all services at HUHS under these two plans. However, payment for services is dependent upon coverage provided by Medex or HPHC. Consult your retiree medical benefit summary for details.
