Dolby remains committed to offering comprehensive, high-quality benefits while balancing the impact of rising healthcare costs. For the upcoming plan year, you’ll see updates to the biweekly payroll deductions and a small number of targeted plan changes.
Biweekly payroll deductions will increase for most health plans for the 2026–27 plan year. Increases reflect the trend of the ongoing rise in healthcare costs nationwide. Dolby continues to pay a major portion of the cost of employee medical premiums
(~85% to 90% of employee-only coverage and 75% to 85% when covering dependents). View the 2026–27 payroll deductions here.
Dolby’s medical plan coverage remains mostly consistent as we continue to ensure our plans remain market competitive. The following changes are being implemented effective July 1, 2026, in line with current market practices.
All Cigna members will receive new digital ID cards that reflect these changes.

There are no changes to coverage under the Cigna dental plans or VSP vision plan for the 2026–27 plan year.
The annual Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account (DCFSA) limit is increasing significantly from $5,000 to $7,500, allowing you to set aside more pre-tax dollars to cover eligible child and elder care expenses.
The Care.com benefit will sunset on June 30, 2026 due to limited participation. Existing Dolby-sponsored Care.com premium accounts will be transitioned to free accounts on July 1, 2026. Claims for backup care incurred through June 30, 2026 can be submitted for reimbursement through July 30, 2026.
The Dolby-sponsored Life, AD&D, and Long-Term Disability insurance provider is moving from The Standard to Prudential. This change will not impact your coverage, and you do not need to take any action.
Remember that you must actively enroll in the Healthcare and/or Dependent Care FSA(s) each year you plan to participate. Existing elections will not automatically rollover to the 2026–27 plan year.
