Guidelines - 2.1 How Health Care Sharing Works
2026-07-01
REDEEM HealthShare is a nonprofit health care sharing ministry that
facilitates direct member-to-member sharing of eligible Needs.
2.1 How Health Care Sharing Works
Health care sharing is a voluntary arrangement that unites you
and other families in the REDEEM HealthShare community through
acts of mutual support and love, reflecting the early Christian
church’s commitment to caring for one another (Acts 2:44-45).
Guided by a shared faith and Biblical principles, the community
comes together to bear each other’s burdens and demonstrate
the love of Christ in practical ways.
There is no transfer of risk from you to REDEEM HealthShare or
from you to other members, and there is no contract of indemnity
between REDEEM HealthShare and you or between you and
other members.
REDEEM HealthShare Ministry is not an insurance company. The
terminology and processes might be different or unfamiliar to you.
You do not pay “premiums” and REDEEM HealthShare does not
collect money to “cover” medical expenses. You receive a Share
Notice each month that informs you who you will share with and
the reason for the medical Need. You submit voluntary monthly
Shares to assist other members with their eligible medical bills,
which is separate from the amount sent to REDEEM HealthShare to
support the administration and program services of the ministry.
You are always responsible for your medical bills and expenses.
