Going to the Doctor
Introduction
As a REDEEM® HealthShare member, there are no networks which means you get to choose which provider you want to see. Your healthcare is in your hands.
With REDEEM HealthShare Ministry you have the flexibility to choose a provider or hospital without restrictions. While you have the freedom to choose your providers, please review Eligibility requirements for sharing when seeing a medical specialist.
Information
This overview provides you with general information about billing instructions for both your provider and you. For any medical visit, follow these best practices:
- Present your REDEEM HealthShare membership card to your medical provider first.
- Your provider should submit your bill electronically using the EDI number located on the back of the membership card.
Note: If your provider is unfamiliar with health sharing organizations, then have them call the toll-free number on the back of your member card with any questions.
- Inform the provider to send the bills within 12 months from the date you receive the service to be eligible for sharing.
REDEEM HealthShare understands that 1) not all providers use an electronic system, 2) technical difficulties may arise when making the submission, or 3) you may have paid your medical bill directly to your provider. For times when you need to upload your bills through the Member Center, see Submit a Medical Bill.
As a member of REDEEM HealthShare reading and understanding the Sharing Guidelines is important.
