Employee Assistance Program (EAP) with Cigna Behavioral Health

In addition to the health plans, we offer a stand-alone EAP with Cigna Behavioral Health that you and your related entities may offer to employees who opt out of medical coverage. (Employees who enroll in Medical Trust health coverage are automatically enrolled in Cigna EAP benefits.)

Episcopal Diocese of Georgia Health Insurance Policy

To comply with the diocesan clergy minimum compensation standard, a congregation with a priest working at least 30 hours per week must ensure insurance coverage. For those who do not otherwise have medical insurance provided through a spouse or an existing plan such as Tri-care, this means selecting at least the lowest cost option from the plans above. For those in a High Deductible Plan with a Health Savings Account, the Diocese expects the employer will pay $200 per month or $2400 per year into the HSA for those electing the single HDHP and $400 or $4800 per month for the plus one or family plan in the first year of coverage and to continue to pay $150 per month for Single HDHP and $300 per month for plus one, and $400 for family plans in subsequent years.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me. Sincerely, Canon Andrew Austin (912)236-4279 ext. 2 or aaustin@gaepiscopal.org.

In the event of a conflict between this material and the official plan documents or insurance policies, any official plan documents or insurance policies will govern.

Church Pension Group Services Corporation (“CPGSC”), doing business as The Episcopal Church Medical Trust, maintains a series of health and welfare plans (the “Plans”) for eligible employees (and their eligible dependents) of The Episcopal Church (the “Church”). The Medical Trust serves only eligible Episcopal employers. The Plans that are self-funded are funded by the Episcopal Church Clergy and Employees’ Benefit Trust, a voluntary employees’ beneficiary association within the meaning of section 501(c)(9) of the Internal Revenue Code.

The Plans are church plans within the meaning of section 3(33) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and section 414(e) of the Internal Revenue Code. Not all Plans are available in all areas of the United States or outside the United States, and not all Plans are available on both a self-funded and fully insured basis. Additionally, the Plan may be exempt from federal and state laws that may otherwise apply to health insurance arrangements. The Plans do not cover all healthcare expenses, so members should read the official Plan documents carefully to determine which benefits are covered, as well as any applicable exclusions, limitations, and procedures.
