Cost
Tufts Health Direct, our individual and small-group plan, offers several affordable plan levels. Each plan level has a monthly premium (payment), and a specific cost-sharing structure.
- Your monthly premium is determined by your age, where you live, and the plan level and type of coverage you choose.
- Cost sharing means that, as a member, you will pay for a portion of your health care costs not covered by Tufts Health Plan. The amount or percentage you pay will depend on the plan level you choose.
- Some plan levels have an out-of-pocket maximum, meaning a limit on what you will need to pay during a benefit year.

Compare costs across all plan levels, and choose a level based on your budget and anticipated health services throughout the year.
