GuideStone to offer option to change health coverage

With many churches reporting strained budgets due to the fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic, GuideStone is offering a one-time opportunity for both group plans and personal plans to step down to a lower-cost health care plan for the remainder of 2020.

Generally the option to change plans is available only during re-enrollment.

The one-time change option, the health plan relief initiative, was available beginning April 1.

Churches can elect to move from a standard PPO plan to an HSA-qualified High Deductible Health Plan or even to GuideStone’s lowest-cost option, Secure Health 3000. Visit GuideStone.org/coronavirus/insurance for information on eligible plans. (BP)
