The Lowdown on Medical Sharing Plans
But when you get sick, there is no guarantee your ailment will be covered in part or in full. These programs are strictly voluntary, both Lansberry and Meggs point out. The members or a member-elected board determines what types of conditions are eligible for sharing. For example, Medi-Share doesn’t cover routine wellness visits. Samaritan Ministries won’t share dental or vision costs. The factors surrounding a sickness or injury may also make a difference. For example, Medi-Share states on its website that members won’t pay for injuries from a car accident if the vehicle “was used in a race, to perform a stunt, or in the commission of a crime.â€
