The Alpha Plan

Designed for missionaries serving more than one year, who don’t need cover within the USA.

Alpha is an international Private Medical Insurance plan designed for missionaries. Members also have access to extra resources to stay physically, mentally, and financially healthy, so they can be their best and have the greatest impact in their calling.

Alpha also provides full coverage in a missionary’s home country should a member need to return home for treatment, or during times of furlough.

Note: Alpha has restrictions on cover within the USA. If you are a US citizen or require cover within the USA, we recommend our Omega Plan.
