How Can Tufts Health Plan Senior Care Options Offer So Much for $0?

Complete health care coverage — for $0!

How is it possible to get so much coverage for $0? It may seem too good to be true, but it’s not. Tufts Health Plan Senior Care Options is a nationally recognized health plan for individuals ages 65 or older who qualify for MassHealth Standard (Medicaid). Individuals who qualify receive more health care benefits than MassHealth and Original Medicare, plus additional care and support, all for $0! No catches, no gimmicks, no tricks. 

What do you get for $0? A lot.
