In 2021, the Board of Pensions was able to keep Kaiser Permanente premiums at the same rate and introduce a new health care option through Sutter Health. These two plans will still include the Health Reimbursement Accounts (HRA) which will cover the deductible and most of the out of pocket maximum.
Clergy who participate in the group insurance plan are expected to contribute towards the cost of premiums through pretax payroll deductions. Due to the Executive Policy regarding Premiums, the amount of the cost sharing depends on the plan that you choose and the number of people being covered by the group plan. For more information, visit our 2021 Active premium cost page.
Local churches determine how much lay employees must contribute towards their premium costs. Check with your supervisor or church administrator for specifics.
