2027 Health Insurance Rate Change
Dear UUA Colleagues,

As we prepare for the 2027 plan year, we are committed to balancing the long-term sustainability of the UUA Health Plan with our continued commitment to providing high-quality, values-driven benefits. Like employers and health plans across the country, we continue to face rising health care costs driven by inflation, increased demand for medical services, and the escalating cost of specialty medications. To help keep the Plan strong and sustainable while continuing to provide comprehensive coverage a 12% premium increase will apply for 2027, down from the 19% increase for 2026.  

We know budgeting and planning are important to keeping your congregation running smoothly, so we’re working to finalize the 2027 rate calculator as soon as possible to help you prepare for the year ahead. We'll share an update in our newsletter as soon as the calculator is available!

2027 Pharmacy Update
Effective January 1, 2027, the Plan will move to a new pharmacy vendor, RxBenefits. This new partnership will offer more effective ways to address rising prescription drug costs while improving the member experience through better tools, expanded clinical resources, and greater transparency. We recognize that a change like this can bring questions and uncertainty. Our goal remains to balance affordability with meaningful access to medical care, with continued support for LGBTQIA+ participants with respect to transition-related therapies. 

IMPORTANT: Beginning January 1, 2027, you must present your new 2027 Highmark ID card when filling prescriptions or receiving care, as old cards will no longer include the necessary prescription benefit information. New ID cards will be available in the MyHighmark member portal starting January 1, 2027.
