What’s New

We know there is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to benefits, so we continuously evaluate our options to ensure we offer programs that meet you where you are, offer choice and remain affordable for you and your family. Learn about what’s changing for 2026. 

Medical and Prescription Drug

  • To continue offering quality coverage and a range of choices including stable rates, a premium provider network and enhanced support, our medical plans will transition from UMR to Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS) in 2026.
  • You’ll receive a new medical ID card in the mail if you enroll in a medical plan. In 2026, your ID card will display only your name as the primary subscriber. Dependent names will not appear on the card, nor is it necessary for them to be listed.
  • Your Personal Health Assessment (PHA) is important! By completing your PHA, you earn credits which reduce your medical premiums across all coverage levels. And, if you simply need employee only medical coverage, this year the cost of the Anthem BCBS Copay Plan – High Deductible is available for just $5 per week if you score 100 points on your PHA and complete your health coaching.
  • Telemedicine services will be available to team members enrolled in Anthem BCBS medical plans in two ways: through the Sydney Health Mobile App or on the member website at Anthem.com.
  • CarelonRx will replace CVS Caremark for non-specialty prescription benefits, while BioPlus, a CarelonRx company, will replace OptiMed for specialty prescription benefits.
  • A new Preventive Drug list for certain conditions will be covered with no deductible in the High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP-HSA Eligible).
  • As we transition our prescription drug coverage to CarelonRx, some medications that are on the formulary today may not be covered under the CarelonRx formulary. You can view the formulary at Anthem BCBS Pre-enrollment website or on the Total Rewards Sharepoint page.

Dental

We’re expanding orthodontia coverage for eligible dependents up to age 26 and including adult orthodontia coverage for team members and spouses/domestic partners enrolled in the Comprehensive Delta Dental Plan.

Pre-Tax Savings Accounts (HSAs and FSAs)

The Health Savings Account (HSA) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) contribution limits will be updated in accordance with the 2026 IRS regulations:

  • The Health Savings Account contribution limit will increase to $4,400 for Employee only coverage and $8,750 for family coverage.
  • The Health Care Flexible Spending Account limit will increase from $3,300 to $3,400, and the carryover limit will increase from $660 to $680.
  • The Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account limit will increase from $5,000 to $7,500.

Wellness

Walkingspree is our new interactive activity tracking and well-being platform, replacing Personify on January 1, 2026. Designed to support a healthier lifestyle, Walkingspree empowers participants to track their physical activity, engage in wellness challenges, and connect with others in a fun, motivating environment. With its user-friendly interface, Walkingspree makes it easier than ever to stay active and prioritize one’s well-being, while getting rewarded. Participants on the Personify platform will have until January 30, 2026 to redeem their rewards. Rewards from Personify WILL NOT transfer over to Walkingspree. 

Voluntary Benefits

New for 2026, Identity Theft Protection Plus Plans will be offered through MetLife Aura, providing ongoing credit monitoring, alerts, and identity restoration services.

Use the new Do the Math decision making tool to compare your medical options and choose the best fit for your situation.

This tool helps you compare plans based on paycheck contributions and expected medical and prescription costs. For reference, health credits are assumed to you reached the full health credits available (100 points). Consider the following:

  • Higher paycheck costs mean you pay less when you need care. (Copay Plan -Low Deductible)
  • Lower paycheck costs give you more take-home pay but require savings for larger healthcare out-of-pocket costs. (Copay Plan -High Deductible or High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP-HSA Eligible)
