Do you have any type of coverage for people over 65? Medicare will pay some, but how about a supplement or some type. I am in good health and usually go one time a year for my annual physical. Thanks for any info you could give me.

Hello, we are in the same boat as alot of others right now…self employed, paying our own insurance whith outrageous deductibles, and everything out of pocket…I am very interested in this Biblical plan of Christians helping Christians, but I do have a question that one of the ladies at my church brought up….are there tax implications when you do receive aid from the group? Do you pay tax on regular insurance proceedes? Do you pay tax on these “gifts”? How does this work? I need some direction on this…Thanks for any in put.

We are a family about to be a family on the road. We are selling everything and getting a 5th wheel & truck as soon as next week. One of our concerns was insurance, as we have a 2 year old boy and 1 year old girl. Thank you for this review. I am interested in hearing more from people who have used this or still use this. It seems like something we could get involved in. I also agree 100% with gmachayes — I think people should turn to the chuch instead of the government for help. The government just seems to carry those on welfare/medicaid/foodstamps/etc. and do not do an assessment of the family receiving the ‘free’ money or how they spend what they get. This “insurance” seems to be very good for a travelling family across America. Thanks again

I’ve been a member for over a year now and in that time have had an ulcer and a baby…I absolutely have faith in this company, its members and their goals to meet needs of other Christians. Every claim I’ve had has been paid and I love that I know where my premiums are going – also I feel that they are working with us to keep us healthy, not fighting us to try and avoid paying for our healthcare. They pray with us when we call in for asisstance and have always been wonderful. NOTE: For the past 20 years (my adult life) I’ve had typical Blue Cross, Aetna, Humana insurance – my last experience with one of them was terrible. We were paying almost $15,000 a year for insurance, still stuck with 20% of the bills, in addition to paying huge deductibles.

Medi-Share is indeed a leap of faith, as they are NOT insurance…I’ve had a great experience and given what is going on with our country right now wish Americans would continue to support each other MORE through the church and rely LESS on big government.

Thanks for the article, good assessment.

I have been a member of medi-share since Janurary. Thankfully I’ve never had to use the sharing for my own medical expenses; however, every month I get a statement that tells me who my money went to last month. It tells me what was wrong with them and even gives me contact information so that I can send along my prayers and well-wishes. With an insurance company the money you send along every month goes to line the pockets of executives. At least I know that my money is helping fellow believers.

They were very professional during the enrollment process. They even have a chaplin on staff. He called me just to pray with me.

For $98/mo I have to pay the first $1000 if something happens, but they will cover me up to $1,000,000. In the 15+ years they’ve been operating they’ve never had a need they couldn’t meet.

I totally trust them and would recommend them. I don’t work for them. I’m just a satisfied member.

I am a independent consultant that is shopping for a insurance provider. Can you recommend some others?

Thank you,

Thanks for writing this review. I’ve seen some advertisements for them and was curious about it. You’ve given me enough information to get an understanding of what they are about.
P.S. – Sorry, forgot to tell you great post!
