Healthcare for Christians

With so many pastors, missionaries and church members needing affordable healthcare, here are some possible options to choose from:

Medi-Share is an affordable and biblical alternative to health insurance. It is a non-profit organization that gives Christian families the care they need without paying for the health issues related to the sins of the unsaved. Plan members must have a salvation testimony and current church membership and agree to abstain from sex outside of marriage, alcohol, tobacco and drugs. Family plans start at $232 per month for the 911 plan which carries a $911 deductible per incident and the 250 plan which is a $250 deductible per year for $374 per month. For more info check their website at www.medi-share.org.

Evangelical Benifit Trust is a full blown PPO Health Insurance plan offered to ministers and Christian workers under a group plan for each church or organization. They offer 3 levels of coverage that include a prescription drug plan. Plans and rates are tailored to fit individual needs. For example, their 90/70 plan pays 90% coverage for in program and 70% out of program with a $250 deductible. They also offer an 80/60 plan with up to a $2000 deductible. Rates are based on individuals health and the particular program and deductible chosen. They can be reached at 866.902.6227 or at www.churchplan.org.
