Exploring Plan Options
We Can Help
Church Health is here to help you and your family navigate the healthcare options that are available to you and even help you enroll in the plan that best fits your needs, including:
- The MEMPHIS Plan
- ACA Marketplace (Obamacare) plans
- TennCare/ Medicaid
- Medicare

Affordable Care Act Marketplace Plans
How It Works
The ACA extends health insurance coverage to millions of Americans through existing programs and the private insurance market. It expands eligibility for Medicaid, makes private insurance more affordable by helping to pay part of the insurance premium, and allows children to stay on their parents’ private insurance plans until age 26.
Enrollment Assistance
Most people who get coverage through the Marketplace will find a plan for less than $75 a month. Church Health can help you determine if an ACA plan is best for you or your family, and we can even help you enroll!

The MEMPHIS Plan
About The Program
The MEMPHIS Plan is an affordable healthcare plan provided by Church Health for uninsured working people. It’s tailored to small businesses, the self-employed and individuals who fall within the gap of America’s current healthcare system because they earn too much to qualify for state or federal programs. It is not health insurance.
How It Works
If you qualify, the MEMPHIS Plan office will assign you and your dependents, if applicable, to one primary care physician who will charge you a $5 co-pay at each visit. This is in addition to your personal $50/month monthly charge; if you are enrolled through your employer, they will contribute at least $10/month. In addition, you will be assigned to a specific hospital in the case of emergency where you will pay a $5 co-pay per visit. Should you need care from a specialist, your primary care physician will make an appropriate referral, ensuring that the specialist’s services are covered under the MEMPHIS Plan.
Eligibility
To participate in the MEMPHIS Plan, employees and individually-enrolled participants must:
- Work at least 20 hours a week
- Be uninsured (no private or government insurance coverage)
- Work in the state of Tennessee
- Make no more than 200 percent of the federal poverty level based on family size and income as shown on their federal tax return
To participate in the MEMPHIS Plan, self-employed participants must:
- Be uninsured (no private or government insurance coverage)
- Live in Tennessee
- Make no more than 200 percent of the federal poverty level based on family size and income as shown on their federal tax return
