Concordia Plan Services - Insurance for LSS LCMS Chaplains Health Plan & Retirement Benefits Overview

Are you a Chaplain rostered with the LCMS (Lutheran Church Missouri Synod)? If so, and you are budgeted for at least 21 hours per week, you’re eligible for benefits through Concordia Health Plan (CHP). CHP offers insurance plans for ministry workers, and as an eligible LSS employee, you may choose benefits (such as Medical, Dental, Vision, Personal Spending Accounts, Retirement, EAP, Life Insurance, Disability, etc.) available in the CHP “Option D” health plan.

If you choose to enroll in the CHP health plan, you may not also enroll in the comparable LSS benefits. Coverage with CHP begins the first of the month following employment (at 21+ hours/week). Please note that your employee premiums for benefits through the CHP plan are eligible for significant discounts if you earn wellness credits in the LSS Wellness program.  To learn about the LSS Wellness Program, please visit here. 

For more information on your CHP benefits, please visit the Concordia Health Plan member portal at http://www.concordiaplans.org/. When visiting the CHP member portal for the first time, you’ll need to register using your Last Name, the Last 4 digits of your SSN, and your Date of Birth.  If you need help with the CHP member portal, please call 314-965-7580 or 1-888-927-7526.
