Jun 2 An Alternative to Health Insurance (that actually works)

“Does it really work? Is it legit? Are expenses really covered?” Those are a few of the many questions that came up over and over again for me years ago when I first heard about Christian health sharing. For years I researched health sharing and even ordered “the packets” in the mail to understand it better. Yes, I realize that dates me! Nowadays we receive most info via email. Ha! Anyways, I was curious because it seemed so interesting to me and I wanted to be prepared in case we were ever in need of an alternative.

Then a few years ago we found ourselves in need of health coverage. Without any other option, I turned to health sharing again. And this time I was ready to try it. What I discovered is that health care sharing is real and it really works. Not only does it work, but it is also an amazing alternative to typical health insurance. I can testify first hand.

Thankfully, when it was time for us to take the plunge we had a family who we are very close to that had been a part of a wonderful health sharing company for a few years and they were loving it. It matters so much when you have someone you know who has “been there done that” and can give you sound advice you can trust.

I want to be that friend to you today. If you are looking for an alternative to traditional health insurance, I would highly recommend Christian health sharing. One of my very favorite parts of health sharing and what made me say, “not only does this work, it is an amazing alternative” is that yes, health expenses are shared but even greater than that, there are prayers lifted up for you in your time of need!

If you haven’t heard of Medi-Share let me share a bit about it with you from their website:

Medi-Share was established in 1993 by Christian Care Ministry as an affordable alternative to health insurance. Medi-Share is trusted by almost half a million Americans to take care of their health care needs. Instead of meeting a deductible and paying monthly premiums to a corporate institution, Medi-Share members meet an Annual Household Portion and pay a monthly share. Eligible Medical Bills are shared by members who also encourage and pray for one another. Medi-Share works on behalf of members to negotiate discounts and facilitate direct payment to providers.

Here are several of the things that make the Medi-Share difference:

They are the most trusted name in health care sharing with over 415,000 members! Incredible!
Medi-Share members get access to UNLIMITED & FREE telehealth and virtual professional counseling. I LOVE this!
On average our members save $500 per month on health care costs when they switch from traditional insurance!
Medi-Share directly manages medical bills on your behalf (No checks to mail or receive from other members) – this is a GREAT perk! The last program I was a part of we received the checks directly and it was a little hard to manage and keep track of.
No bill too large! More than $4 billion shared since 1993

Quick share - 90% of bills shared within 30 days.
Nationwide PPO network- Choose from a network of 900K providers for pre-negotiated discounts or visit the doctor of your choice.
Aligned with your values - Our members share medical expenses that support and honor biblical values.

Maybe you’ve been wanting something different than your typical health insurance or maybe you are in need because you have no other option. Whatever situation you find yourself in, you can’t go wrong with Medi-Share. It is an incredible alternative to health insurance for a short time or for the rest of your life.
