• The opt out election is reserved ONLY for those missionaries deciding to join their host country’s national plan, and CANNOT be used by the Reliant missionary to simply seek out another alternative personal/family health insurance policy from an independent international insurance provider, carrier or broker.

increase allowed for national health care premiums

Reliant missionaries may add the monthly cost of National Health Care premiums to their monthly salary goals. This will be done as follows: 

• The missionary is responsible to pay the premiums directly to the national government. 
• They will also add the cost of these monthly premiums to their International Support Goal Worksheet (SGW) in Section A – Monthly Salary. It will then be paid out to the missionary as additional taxable salary. 
• The new International SGW needs to be submitted and processed before changes can increase the paycheck.

The missionary is making the decision to opt out 100 percent at their own risk. Thus, Reliant requires that any missionary decision to opt out of the Reliant International Health Insurance Plan be made very carefully, prayerfully and with much counsel. This decision may have significant consequences on a missionary’s health coverage and possibly their personal finances. Making the decision simply because it means less Reliant ministry MTD support to raise can be an extremely short-sighted reason and should NOT be made simply for that reason.
