Guidelines - IV.H Balancing Needs and Shares/Proration

In any month, the funding of Shares across REDEEM HealthShare Ministry may or may not meet the eligible bills submitted for sharing. In that event, the ministry will share eligible medical bills proportionately, which means sharing a percentage of eligible bills within that month and holding back the balance of those bills to share in a subsequent month. If there isn’t enough funding of Shares to meet the eligible bills submitted for sharing over a 60-day period, then REDEEM HealthShare may increase the suggested monthly share amount in sufficient proportion to satisfy the eligible bills. The ministry may take this action temporarily or ongoing. If member sharing cannot fund an eligible bill within 90 days of entering the normal sharing queue, then the ministry removes that bill from the normal sharing queue and shares the amount through the Member Assistance Fund, if possible. REDEEM HeathShare will send any money currently in the bill account to the provider as partial payment.

As allowed by the Samaritan Ministries Board of Directors, to balance expenses and shares calculations, the ministry may share across two or more Samaritan Ministries programs or keep them separate.
