Effective Plan Dates: Jan 1, 2026 — Dec 31, 2026

Which Medical Plan is Right?

Diocese of Columbus is pleased to offer you a choice between two different medical plans from Surest. Coverage under both plans include comprehensive medical care and prescription drug coverage.

There is the Base Plan and the Enhanced Plan. The Enhanced plan has lower copays and out-of-pocket, but the contribution is more expensive when compared to the Base Plan.
