The CARE Act

In 2018, Massachusetts lawmakers passed the CARE Act, an act that expands treatment for people who suffer from opioid addiction. Under the law, Tufts Health Plan members can:

  • Request less than the prescribed amount of opioids like Oxycodone and Hydrocodone
  • Return to the same pharmacy within 30 days to fill the rest of their partially filled prescription without incurring any additional costs
