Supplemental benefits

Value-added benefits to help you save money on the care you need.

Designed with you in mind

Our plans go beyond the basics with supplemental benefits designed to make it easier for you to get high-quality care without breaking the bank.

Benefits vary by plan, so not all the benefits listed here are applicable to all members. It’s important to check your plan documents to understand which benefits are covered under your plan.

Current members can find details about their plan by signing in to the Mass General Brigham Health Plan member portal.

Virtual healthcare

Removing the cost barriers to care options

Built on the understanding that there’s more than one way to solve a problem, Care Complement gives members the flexibility to try alternatives to opioid painkillers and new treatments for managing chronic conditions. Care Complement benefits offer $0 cost for services that help you manage pain and other chronic conditions. Some of the services covered under this benefit include:

  • Your first 6 visits to a chiropractor, acupuncturist (20 visit limit), and physical or occupational therapist
  • Services to help you manage your diabetes
  • Medication-assisted therapy office visits and prescriptions to treat substance use
  • 11 common prescription medications to treat depression, heart conditions, and high blood pressure

Care Complement cost savings are automatically applied to services covered under this benefit.

Cash back for making smart choices about care

Save money — and earn rewards of up to $500 — with the DoctorSmart Rewards program. Different providers may charge very different prices for the same procedure, even when they’re delivering the same level of care. DoctorSmart Rewards makes it easy to find these high-value providers, so you can save on out-of-pocket costs. DoctorSmart Rewards also gives members a cash incentive for making smart choices about where to get select services like CT scan, mammogram, MRI, and more.
