For the 2026 plan year, you will choose between the PPO Low Plan and the PPO High Plan, using the Cigna PPO network. We have a new free Garner benefit that helps you find the highest quality doctors while saving you up to $5,000 individual / $10,000 family in healthcare costs. This benefit is included for both medical plan options. There are no changes in employee premiums for 2026. There are also updates to the prescription drug benefits for 2026 with VeracityRx as the new pharmacy benefits provider.
In-network preventive care services, such as annual check-ups, are covered in full for both plans. As a reminder, these services need to be coded as preventive to be paid in full by the plan.
The medical plans are administered by Nova Healthcare. Nova Healthcare processes your claims and eligibility updates. HealthJoy, your healthcare guidance app, helps improve your healthcare experience while saving you time and money. We encourage all medical plan members to use the HealthJoy app when you need medical services.
Although the plans include out-of-network coverage, your costs are significantly lower if you remain in the Cigna PPO network. You may access Cigna PPO network information by using the HealthJoy mobile app or on Nova’s website.

*Emergency room and prescription drug benefits are not eligible for the Garner high-quality incentive.
Other Benefit Summary Notes
Garner Health is a new free benefit that helps you find the highest quality doctors while saving you money. For both plan options, when you use the Garner app, find a recommended doctor, and visit that doctor, you will receive 100% coverage! Emergency room visits and prescription drugs are not eligible for the Garner incentive benefit.
The best doctors are often the least expensive. Missed diagnoses, unnecessary surgeries, and bad health outcomes are costly. By setting you up with the best doctors, you not only get better care, but the cost is lower for both you and Jim Ellis. As a result, Jim Ellis covers your medical bills when you use Garner.
How It Works
Get Started with Garner


Garner Health is your first stop to find high-quality providers. The Edison Centers of Excellence program is a voluntary, second-opinion, high-quality resource for specific diagnoses. The Edison Smart Care Centers are available with no member cost for these conditions.
Distance and cost should never get in the way of you receiving the best possible medical care. Our team members who are enrolled in medical will have full access to Edison’s Smart Care Network. All possible barriers have been removed for the best care and all travel expenses will be covered for you and a companion. All team members, spouses, and dependent children who are enrolled in the
medical plan are eligible. This is ZERO COST HEALTHCARE at AMERICA’S BEST MEDICAL CENTERS for the diagnosis types listed below.

Although the plans includes out-of-network coverage, your costs are significantly reduced if you remain in the Cigna PPO network. You may access Cigna PPO network information as follows:
OR
Access https://hcpdirectory.cigna.com/web/public/consumer/directory/search or call (855) 206-1040
You will provide your Nova Healthcare ID Card to your Cigna PPO doctor or hospital when you schedule medical care, and pay your copay at the time of service.
New ID Cards will be provided for all medical plan participants for 2026.

There are some updates to the prescription drug benefit for 2026. VeracityRx is your new pharmacy benefit provider, and VeracityRx will handle your prescription drug claims and customer service. As a reminder, the prescription drug benefit is included in the medical plan out-of-pocket.
The 2026 pharmacy benefit uses a Select / Non-Select pharmacy network. Most pharmacies can fill your prescriptions, but if you use a Non-Select pharmacy, your copay will be higher. Select pharmacies include most pharmacies, while Non-Select pharmacies include CVS, Walgreens, Target, and Rite-Aid.
Retail and 90-Day Supply Benefits
Although the 2026 prescription drug plan does not include a mail order benefit, you can elect to get a 90-day fill at Select pharmacies for 2x the 30-day supply copay. Please note that a 90-day fill is not available at Non-Select pharmacies.


Certain medications can be obtained internationally from Canada. When medications are obtained this way, the cost to the member is $0 copay. If the member chooses not to participate in the PIP and to fill at a retail pharmacy, the cost to the plan participant is 50% of the cost of the medication and will not apply to the medical plan maximum out-of-pocket.
How to Enroll
Although specialty drugs continue to be excluded on your health plan, VeracityRx may be able to help you find the best price for your specialty medications. Contact VeracityRx Pharmacy Services at www.veracity-rx.com for more information.
