This is a voluntary service and there is no need to sign up – you are automatically *eligible through your enrollment in the USNH Harvard Pilgrim health plan. Managing health care costs is a shared responsibility between employees and employers. The new Tandem personalized healthcare shopping service enables you to make healthcare choices that could result in cash rewards to you. Here's how it works:

  • Call or email Tandem if your doctor schedules you for an outpatient test or procedure such as an MRI, CT scan, or mammogram (see the Tandem website at www.tandemcare.com for a full list).
  • A Tandem nurse will help you compare the cost and quality of Harvard Pilgrim providers in your area.
  • If you choose a lower cost provider, Tandem will help you reschedule your appointment.
  • You will receive a financial reward between $40 and $200 depending on the amount that was saved on the procedure.
  • You will receive a financial reward of $20 if you are already using a low cost facility for a procedure that is at least $150 less than what other facilities in your area charge.

USNH Tandem Award Levels:

If you call Tandem and switch to a lower-cost facility, the amount of your cash reward will depend on how much you save. You will receive:

  • $40 if you save between $150 and $249
  • $75 if you save between $250 and $449
  • $100 if you save between $450 and $649
