2027 Costs

Benefits Update for Plan Year 2027

​

The Diocese has worked diligently to keep insurance rates low for all participants and is pleased to announce that rates for The Hartford will remain unchanged for the 2027 benefit year.  

​

Additionally, the Diocese is excited to share that the Delta Dental plan will include enhanced allowances—offering greater value—toward cleaning and services for those with medical conditions and pregnancy as well as diagnostic and preventive services no longer applying toward the annual maximums. Please refer to the upcoming benefits sheet from Delta Dental for more details.

​

Health, Delta Dental, and VSP Vision insurance plans experienced a significant increase in specialty pharmacy claims during 2026, resulting in a 3.5% to 9% increase in premiums for 2027. However, deductibles and plan designs will remain the same for the new plan year.
