No, under GuideStone Insurance Plans, dependents are only eligible for coverage if the eligible employee, retiree or student also has coverage.  GuideStone does offer a provision for this situation through the Health Limited Plan. If the primary individual is not approved for health coverage, the Health Limited Plan can be offered for that individual, so that approved dependents are still eligible to carry full coverage on one of GuideStone's PPO medical plans.

The Health Limited Plan is a non-underwritten health plan with minimal benefits that is appropriate in certain circumstances.  View the Benefit Summary for an overview of the plan.

In addition to maintaining dependent eligibility, the Health Limited Plan would also be appropriate coverage while underwriting is in progress, so that participants do not experience a break in health coverage.
