What's New for 2027
Like many employers across the country, WME Group continues to face rising healthcare costs. As these costs increase, our focus on supporting your overall well-being remains. WME Group will continue to cover a significant share of the overall cost of your benefits, while making limited changes for 2027 to help ensure our benefits program remains sustainable for the future.
For 2027 we will continue to offer the same core health plan options and coverage you have come to expect and rely on. Our core health plans will continue to support your overall well-being, while our additional programs can provide peace of mind.
Read on for important information about the few changes we’re introducing and take this once-a-year opportunity to maximize the value you get from our benefits and minimize your costs.
Here are the changes we’ll introduce in 2027.
Health Plan Contributions
As the cost of health care continues to rise, so does the cost of providing quality health benefits. While WME Group continues to cover the vast majority of the cost for our health plans, there will be some changes to what you pay for coverage.
When you enroll, you can view the 2027 Health Plan Rates on the Benefits Dashboard in Workday.
Updates to the Choice POS II 80/60 Plan

Increased Health Savings Account (HSA) Contribution Limits
If you enroll in the HDHP for the 2027 plan year, WME Group will contribute $500 (individual coverage) or $1,000 (if you cover dependents) to your HSA. The total amount that you and WME Group can contribute to your HSA in 2027 is $4,500 for individuals and $9,000 for families. If you’re age 55 or older in 2026, you may contribute an additional $1,000.
Increased Flexible Spending Account (FSA) Limits
The IRS maximum limit for the Health Care and Limited Purpose FSA is projected to be $3,500 in 2027.
You may continue to contribute up to $7,500 to the Dependent Care FSA.
Enhanced Legal Plan for the Same Low Cost
For 2027, when you enroll in the legal plan, you’ll gain access to a new and enhanced feature, all at the same low cost. The legal plan will now include a secure digital vault feature, where you can organize, protect, and share important information like insurance policies, legal records, financial records and more. The secure digital vault is encrypted and you can invite trusted individuals to access it.
Your expanded selection of benefit options includes:
| Benefit | Reminders and Changes for 2027 |
|---|---|
Medical plans
|
Plan designs are remaining mostly the same as 2026. Review the Choice POS II 80/60 Plan for some out of pocket maximum and out of network services increases. Make sure you review the HDHP plan coverage. For most services, you will need to meet your deductible before you receive plan coverage. More on this in the Choose Well section below. |
Supplemental medical plans
|
You may choose any combination of the following: critical illness, accident, and hospital indemnity insurance. |
| Dental and Vision plans | Choose from the PPO Low or PPO Standard High dental plans. We offer one vision plan option. |
| Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) | Our Health Care, Limited Purpose, and Dependent Care FSAs will work the same as they do today. |
| Health Savings Account (HSA) | If you enroll in the HDHP, you’ll be able to contribute to an HSA – and your company will too. |
| Life and AD&D insurance | You have supplemental options for you and your dependents to choose from. |
| Disability insurance | You can elect supplemental STD and/or supplemental LTD. |
| Identity theft protection | You may elect comprehensive financial and identity monitoring protection. |

How to Choose Well
Choosing the right benefit plans is important. While so little about our benefits for 2027 is changing, you might find your needs have changed.
To help you decide which medical plan is best for you, you can use our Health Plan Cost Estimator. You can model different health care services and needs based on your recent experience and receive an independent recommendation for which medical plan may suit you best.
Curious about the HDHP? Take Another Look at How It Works
Did you know that HDHP gives you access to a tax-advantaged Health Savings Account (HSA)? In exchange for paying for the cost of diagnostic care – like doctor’s visits and prescription drugs – until you meet the plan’s deductible, you can open and contribute to an HSA that allows you to contribute money tax-free, spend money on qualified expenses tax-free, and earn investment gains on your account balance tax-free. Plus, WME Group contributes to your account, just for opening it.
Like all of our plans, preventive care is covered at 100% when you use an in-network provider, regardless of whether you’ve met your deductible or not. You can also use telehealth for on-the-go care for minor illness and injury.
Get a glimpse of how the HDHP works by reviewing the tiles below to see if it’s a good fit for your needs in 2027. As a reminder, this plan has the lowest contributions of all four plans.
