2026 Benefit Reminders

Health Savings Account

If you are enrolled in the Health Savings Account, you can still access your prior funds from Cigna HSA Bank until 1/14/26. After that time, we will enter a “black-out” period as funds are transferred to Fidelity (for those that selected that option.) Employee and Employer contributions to the Fidelity HSA bank are expected to arrive in the second week of January. Visit www.myfidelitysite.com/USNHHSA to learn more.

New! Calibrate FAQ

USNH has partnered with Calibrate, a clinician-led virtual weight loss program. With personalized coaching and science-backed lessons, Calibrate is designed to help members maximize weight loss and reach overall health goals while on GLP-1 medication* like Wegovy® and Zepbound®. USNH is fully covering the cost of Calibrate program member fees. However, lab work and prescription medication fees are the responsibility of the member under their insurance coverage.

*If you’re thinking about taking a GLP-1 medication for weight loss, you’ll be required to do so through Calibrate starting January 1, 2026.  If you’re taking a GLP-1 for diabetes, you will not be required or eligible to join the Calibrate program. If you’re currently (prior to 1/1/2026) taking a GLP-1 medication for weight loss enrollment is not required, but the program is available if you choose to participate.
