Frequently Asked Questions about Medi-Share

Is Medi-Share health insurance?

No, Medi-Share is not health insurance. It is a Christian community where members voluntarily share each other’s medical expenses.

How does Medi-Share work?

Each month, members contribute their monthly share amount. Those funds are used to help pay for other members' eligible medical needs, according to the Medi-Share guidelines.

Is my medical bill guaranteed to be paid?

No. Because Medi-Share is not insurance, there is no legal guarantee that your medical bills will be paid. However, in over 25 years of operation, members have faithfully shared billions of dollars in medical needs.

What are some limitations I should be aware of?

  • Only eligible medical expenses are shared, based on Medi-Share’s guidelines.

  • Pre-existing conditions may have limitations.

  • Certain lifestyle and faith-based requirements must be met.

Do I have to meet any faith requirements to join?

Yes. All members must agree to a statement of faith and commit to living a healthy, biblical lifestyle, including abstaining from tobacco and illegal drug use.

Can I use any doctor or hospital?

Medi-Share has a large network of preferred providers, but you are not limited to it. Using in-network providers can lower your costs.

What kinds of medical needs are not shared?

Some examples include:

  • Routine preventive care unless otherwise specified

  • Expenses related to unbiblical lifestyles
