October 16, 2026 (SOMERVILLE, MA) – Mass General Brigham Health Plan today announced the launch of its new Value HMO product for large employers, further expanding the organization’s commercial product portfolio. The new product provides employers with an additional option to help address rising healthcare costs while maintaining access to high-quality care, trusted providers, and a strong member experience.
Designed to help employers manage healthcare expenses, the Value HMO delivers premium savings compared to broader network offerings while providing comprehensive clinical support, personalized guidance, and the resources members need to navigate their care.
