Big news. Your health plan can do more than pay doctor bills.
Think free digital workouts. Think one pass that opens the door to 20,000 gyms. Think rewards up to $500 dollars for simple healthy steps.

These perks are real on many ACA plans for 2026. UnitedHealthcare has tiered gym access, starting with digital for $0 dollars. Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas offers a $28 dollar gym program through Blue365. Cigna pays up to $325 dollars in rewards. Ambetter from Superior HealthPlan in Texas pays up to $500. Oscar has simple app rewards.

As things change for year 2026, we’ll be updating all this information periodically since things change very quickly. Most of everything should be locked in by November/December and won’t change starting January.

Anyway - we are contracted with all of them. UnitedHealthcare. BCBSTX. Cigna. Oscar. Ambetter from Superior. Pick what fits you and we will switch you fast and enroll you the right way.
