Guidelines - 5.9 Other Responsible Parties

f you have insurance or are eligible for any insurance benefits
or other health or welfare benefits, REDEEM HealthShare expects 
you to take all reasonable steps to qualify for such payments 
and to exhaust benefits available under those resources before 
submitting a request for sharing. The following are examples 
(not an exhaustive list) of other resources:

• Employment related health or welfare plan (except as provided 
in section 5.10 Other Sources of Payment)

• Worker’s compensation insurance

• Homeowner’s insurance

• Fraternal benefits

Additionally, if you intend to submit a medical bill to REDEEM 
HealthShare for sharing that involves another responsible 
party, you must take all necessary steps to make sure the party 
responsible pays the amounts applicable to their respective 
responsibilities. This includes pursuing payment through litigation, 
insurance, or other appropriate means before submitting the bill 
for sharing. You must pursue these legal remedies unless you 
demonstrate that doing so would violate your Biblically based 
conviction against initiating a lawsuit. Contact Member Care if you 
have any questions.

REDEEM HealthShare might delay processing a medical bill to allow 
other responsible parties to pay. If REDEEM HealthShare identifies 
the party responsible for the issue related to your medical bills, 
REDEEM HealthShare reserves the right to decline to share any bills 
related to that party’s responsibility.

If you receive a settlement or reimbursement applicable to 
medical bills already shared, you must send those funds back for 
the benefit of REDEEM members. Samaritan Ministries International 
or REDEEM HealthShare Ministry never requires you to seek 
assistance from government aid programs and considers it 
contrary to our understanding of God’s desire for His people.
