Health Insurance Now, a premier national health insurance brokerage, today announced a new strategic initiative to provide comprehensive church health insurance solutions for 2026. As faith-based organizations face a projected 15% to 20% increase in national healthcare premiums, this program offers small to mid-sized congregations a path to budget-friendly private plans, QSEHRAs, and specialized coverage designed for ministry staff.

For many churches, providing quality benefits while remaining good stewards of their tithes and offerings is a growing challenge. Traditional group plans often force ministries into high-risk pools with ballooning costs. Health Insurance Now's initiative addresses this by offering "right-sized" insurance solutions - including private PPO networks that allow pastors and staff to keep their preferred doctors nationwide - at rates frequently 30% to 50% lower than standard small-group exchange products.

"Churches are the heart of our communities, but their leadership shouldn't have to choose between their mission and their staff's health," said Matthew Sechter, CEO of Health Insurance Now. "Our church health insurance initiative is about more than just finding a policy; it's about understanding the unique tax advantages available to ministry workers. For example, by correctly excluding the Clergy Housing Allowance from income reporting, we can often help pastors qualify for significant savings and subsidies that other brokers might overlook."

The advisory service features a 5-minute "Ministry Review" where licensed specialists use proprietary matching software to compare over 25 top-rated carriers. Beyond medical coverage, the program provides guidance on Qualified Small Employer Health Reimbursement Arrangements (QSEHRAs), which allow churches to reimburse staff for individual premiums tax-free - offering maximum flexibility for both the church budget and the individual employee.

With over 25 years of experience as a trusted advocate for independent and non-profit organizations, Health Insurance Now provides a "hand-holding" experience that handles the heavy lifting of compliance and enrollment. These options are available year-round, ensuring that new staff members or growing ministries can secure protection immediately without waiting for a traditional Open Enrollment window.
