Medi-Share

Straightforward explanations of the coverage, planning, and decisions that can help protect your family and build your financial future.
By Spencer Legacy Insurance

For some families, the way they approach health care is about more than cost. It can also be a reflection of their faith and convictions.

Medi-Share is a Christian health care sharing ministry—not health insurance. Members contribute toward the eligible medical expenses of other members according to the program’s guidelines. Unlike insurance, Medi-Share does not guarantee payment of medical bills, and its benefits and requirements are different from those of an insurance policy.

Membership includes agreeing to a Christian statement of faith and following the program’s membership guidelines. Unlike Marketplace health insurance, Medi-Share does not have an annual Open Enrollment Period, so eligible households can generally apply throughout the year, subject to current membership requirements. For members on Medicare, Medi-Share 65+ is designed to work alongside Medicare rather than replace it.

There isn’t one right choice for every household. Health needs, budget, faith, and comfort with the program’s guidelines all play a role. If you’re weighing health care sharing against traditional coverage, taking time to understand the differences can help you make a decision that fits your family.
