Health Care Sharing Ministries – Not Real Insurance

Introduction Health Sharing Ministries

Health care sharing ministries (HCSMs) are organizations in which members who adhere to similar beliefs share each other’s health care costs. 

Many of them have been BANNED from doing biz in CA Insurance.CA.Gov!!!

The monthly cost for a patient or family in a ministry plan is usually cheap relative to a monthly insurance premium. However, neither the Affordable Care Act nor the Department of Insurance (CDI) consider ministries to be practicing insurance, so they’re not regulated in the same way as traditional health plans.  Introduction and Explanation from Texas Medical Assoc.

New regulation would define healthcare sharing ministries as health insurance and for the first time allow some members to take a tax deduction for their monthly contributions.  Federal Registry – Definition Health Sharing Ministry  *    However,   Incentivizing payments to HSMs will only accelerate medical debt and poor health outcomes during an international health crisis.  COMMENT LETTER FROM 20 STATE ATTORNEYS GENERAL *

  • This publication or membership is not issued by an insurance company, nor is it offered through an insurance company.

  • This is not a legally binding agreement to reimburse any member for medical needs a member may incur, but is instead, an opportunity for members to care for one another in a time of need, to present their medical needs to other members as outlined in the membership guidelines.
