Funding Your Share Wallet vs. Sending Your Share
Introduction
As a member of REDEEM® HealthShare, you pay once a month. You make this payment when you fund your Share Wallet.
Funding your Share Wallet and sending your Share are related actions, but they serve different purposes. These two actions are:
- Funding your Share Wallet, which is transferring the set amount listed on your Funding Notice from your credit card or your bank account to your Share Wallet.
Note: If you opted into auto funding the transfer from your credit card or bank account is automatic. - Sending your Share, which is sending the assigned portion of money from your Share Wallet to another member who has eligible medical bills.
Note: This required action does not have an automated option. For more information, see Send Your Share.
To remain in good standing, you must:
- Fund your Share Wallet by the due date if you are not enrolled in auto funding.
- Send your Share when you receive a Share Notice.
