What Compass Rose Health Plan benefits are changing for 2027?

Changes to all Compass Rose Health Plans for 2027

  • New Weight Loss & Lifestyle Management Program
    We’re introducing a new Weight Loss & Lifestyle Management program at no cost to you, in partnership with TrestleTree. The program offers comprehensive support to help you reach your weight-loss and healthy-lifestyle goals.

    New requirement for weight-loss GLP-1 coverage: If you currently use, or are considering using, a GLP-1 medication for weight loss, you will need to participate in the program to receive coverage for your medication. Prescription anti-obesity medications are Tier 3 drugs.

    More information about the program will be available in the coming months.

Changes to the Compass Rose Health Plan Standard Option for 2027

  • New Wellness Rewards Program
    You and your enrolled spouse can each earn up to $150 per calendar year by completing qualifying activities.  

  • Reduced Primary Care & Specialist Copays
    Reduced copays will be available when you visit a network Tier 1 Provider, rather than a Premium Care Physician or other network provider. Lower copays for Tier 1 Providers are not available to members enrolled in or eligible for Medicare.

  • Physical, Occupational, & Speech Therapy
    You will pay a flat $40 copay per in-network visit, with a combined maximum of 25 visits (no deductible; prior authorization required after the 12th visit).

    You will pay a flat $40 copay per in-network visit, with a 12-visit maximum (no deductible).

  • Advanced Imaging (MRI, MRA, CTA, & CT Scans)
    When you receive services outside of a free-standing imaging center, you will pay the coinsurance plus a new $250 copay per occurrence (deductible applies). When you use a free-standing imaging center, this per occurrence copay does not apply, and your deductible is waived. This change does not affect SPECT and PET scans.

  • Advanced Imaging (MRI, MRA, CTA, CT Scans) 
    When you receive services outside of a free-standing imaging center, you will pay the coinsurance plus a new $250 copay per occurrence (deductible applies).

    You will continue to pay a 35% coinsurance, with the maximum increasing to $600.
