How Can a Self Funded Plan Help My Small Texas Church?

In this episode of Faith Stewardship and Insurance: Protecting Texas Churches, host Ron Wadley of Insurance for Texans explores practical ways for Texas churches to provide meaningful health benefits to their staff. The focus is on self-funded health insurance with stop-loss protection, a promising but often misunderstood option for small churches. The episode provides a detailed explanation of how self-funded plans work, including their benefits such as lower monthly costs, customized coverage, and stop-loss protection. Through a real-life example of Ted's church in Abilene, Texas, the show illustrates how self-funded plans can offer peace of mind while fitting a church's budget and needs.
