• Delta Dental 50: +8.3%
• Kaiser Dental 15: +8.4%

Moda Medical Plans:

• Naturopathic claims will be processed the same as a primary care provider, regardless of if the provider is credentialed as a primary care provider.
• Physical therapy no longer requires a medical necessity review after the member has more than 30 visits.
• Moda Major Medical Plans return to Medicare Part D creditable coverage status. This is relevant for retirees and dependents who are or will become Medicare eligible during the 2026 plan year.

Kaiser Medical Plans:

• No significant benefit or eligibility changes

Kaiser Senior Advantage (KSA):

• Prescriptions - insulin products: The cost share will change from $35 per month or applicable tier cost share to 25% (up to $35 max per month) or applicable tier cost share.
• Medicare will have a $2,100 prescription (Part D) maximum out-of-pocket. Multnomah County's KSA plan has very low co-pays for prescription drugs, so it is highly unlikely that any retirees will be impacted by this change.

Moda Delta Dental Plan:

• Adding coverage for Cone beam x-rays (excluding images related to TMJ). These images are usually in conjunction with implants or root canal treatment.
• Teledentistry.com will be added to the Delta Dental provider network. Teledentistry.com provides 24/7 access to virtual dental care. Members can get consultations, prescriptions and referrals.

Kaiser Dental Plan:

• Coverage for routine fillings will be expanded to include amalgam (silver), glass ionomer, and composite (tooth-colored) fillings on both posterior and anterior teeth. Currently, coverage for routine fillings is limited to amalgam (silver) or glass ionomer fillings on posterior teeth and composite (tooth-colored) fillings on anterior teeth.
• The cost share for nitrous oxide for members ages 0 to 12 will increase from $0 to $25 to match the cost share for members age 13 and older.
