No plan changes! Your medical, dental, vision, and life & disability carriers and plans will remain as-is for 2025-2026.
There are some changes to the Guardian "value add" services such as who will provide Employee Assistance Program (EAP) services moving forward. Review the "Maximize Your Benefits - Guardian" section below for details.
Wellness Program Changes
Flexible Spending Account and Commuter - Benefit Resource, LLC (BRi)
Increasing IRS Maximums for the Health Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) & Commuter Accounts
The 2026 IRS Maximum limits are listed below. If you have made an election on ADP, and you wanted to fund the maximum allowed, please update your election before the end of Open Enrollment on November 21, 2025.
Telemedicine and Virtual Mental Health - First Stop Health
First Stop Health offers an easy and convenient way to contact a medical provider or counselor for you and your immediate family members. You are automatically enrolled with First Stop Health when you enroll in the Highmark Medical plans (see your Benefits Guide for more information) and there is no cost for the virtual visit (some costs may apply if additional services are prescribed).
Highmark Concierge
The Highmark Concierge services are here to assist you with things like shopping for health care, resolving medical billing issues, and scheduling appointments with your medical provider (see your Benefits Guide for more information). The Customer Service number will be the same as currently listed on your Highmark ID card; however, your level of service will be enhanced when you call as the Highmark representative will engage you with questions to ensure you are directed to the best care plans for you. So…don’t be afraid to have the conversation!
