Other Health Benefits
Changes to medical plans in 2026
In our continued effort to harmonize benefits across the health system, we will no longer offer the Allegiance medical plans as of Jan. 1, 2026. You can choose to enroll in an EHP medical plan or wavie coverage for 2026 during open enrollment.
If you’re enrolled in an Allegiance medical plan in 2025 and don’t do anything during open enrollment, you’ll be automatically enrolled in an EHP medical plan beginning Jan. 1, 2026.
