Switching insurance benefits to Harvard Pilgrim is easy and seamless with Harvard Pilgrim SmartStart. SmartStart eases the hassle and uncertainty of switching health insurance. We get employers and members up and running—even before their coverage starts.
Pre-enrollment support for members includes a call line to our prospective member call center for questions about specific benefits and coverage. And because choosing the right health plan option can be confusing for the member, our personalized decision support tool guides decisions about which plan to choose based on the member’s specific situation.*
