Texas Premiums Rise in Plan Year 2027

In Texas, health, dental and vision premiums are increasing for Plan Year 2027. Retiree rates changed Sept. 1, with more changes Jan. 1, 2027.
Texas will continue paying 100% of health premiums for eligible retirees, so many will not feel higher health plan costs in Plan Year 2027.
Higher 2027 costs can affect retirees lacking full state support, part-time retirees, households covering dependents, survivors, and others without a state premium contribution.
Texas said higher care use and rising medical, drug, and vision costs drove changes. Dental and vision increases are meant to support access and coverage.
Vision premiums also rise to support continued coverage, and Texas said updated premium details for retirees with federal coverage will be posted in Early-Q4.
