Key Considerations

Medi-Share is one of the largest and oldest healthshare organizations and its members tend to give it positive reviews. It also includes a plan for those 65 and older.

Highlights
Pre-Existing Conditions

Medical bills for diagnosis or treatment of a pre-existing medical condition, defined as signs/symptoms, testing, diagnosis, treatment, OR medication for a condition within 36 months prior to membership (based on medical records), will ONLY be eligible for sharing as follows:

    -
    Up to $100,000 per Member per year (based on effective date) once the member has been faithfully sharing for 36 consecutive months.
    -
    Up to $500,000 per Member per year (based on effective date) once the Member has been sharing faithfully for 60 consecutive months.
Preventive Care

Medi-Share does not cover routine and preventive care. However, some qualifying program levels offer eligible annual physicals and well-child care up until the age of six.

Maternity

The members must join Medi-Share before becoming pregnant and they must indicate that they are married on their application, even if joining as an individual. They need to have faithfully shared from the month of conception through the month of delivery as well. Maternity sharing is limited to $125,000 per pregnancy event.

Rx Sharing

Prescription drugs related to the treatment of an eligible medical condition must be paid out of pocket and then submitted on a reimbursement form. Prescriptions can be eligible for up to six months of treatment for each medical-specific condition over the member’s lifetime. Eligible prescription expenses are applied toward your annual household portion once they are sent in. If your annual household portion has been met, those expenses will then be shareable. Medi-Share’s plan for seniors does not include prescription sharing.
