HealthFlex is a wellness-driven group health plan for United Methodist Church annual conferences and employer groups. Benefits options include a combination of medical, prescription drug, dental and vision coverage.

HealthFlex offers a broad range of plan designs, including:

• Six medical/pharmacy plans, most of which include a health savings account (HSA) or health reimbursement account (HRA) to help offset out-of-pocket expenses
• Three dental plans

HealthFlex Exchange uses a premium credit (fixed dollar amount defined by each plan sponsor) which can be used toward the premium of the plan you choose. Choosing your health plan is a big decision, and Wespath provides training and decision-support tools, like ALEX Benefits Counselor, to help you compare your options.
