What is Health Sharing !

Thousands of individuals, families, churches and organizations rely on each other for their medical needs.

 

We provide the opportunity to give because good is always returned.

How it works is simple.

Individuals, couples, families, churches and organizations contribute financially into the members’ escrow account and we act as the neutral escrow agent for the members.


  • Members’ medical needs are shared according to the Membership Guidelines and escrow instructions.
  • Members are asked to submit a monthly contribution.
  • Members present their Membership ID card when medical services are received and the provider submits the medical need according to the instructions on the back of the card.
