Alleviating the Financial Burdens that Medicare Leaves Behind
We understand that you have your own family to take care of and that medical expenses can quickly become overwhelming, adding stress to an already challenging caregiving role. We also know that Medicare doesn't pay for all costs, which is why Medi-Share 65+ was designed to fill in that financial gap. Medi-Share 65+ helps ease the financial burden by sharing in a significant portion of eligible medical bills, allowing caregivers to focus more on their loved ones and less on financial worries.
Financial Benefits:
- Cost Sharing: Reduce out-of-pocket expenses with a program that complements your loved ones Medicare and shares in the medical costs of it's members for things like: Medicare deductibles, copays, and coinsurance for surgeries, hospitalizations, ER visits, skilled nursing facilities, durable medical equipment and more.
- Predictable Costs: With Medi-Share 65+, you get transparency with your monthly costs ($99/month for those 65-74 and $150/month for those 75+) and can anticipate your medical expenses, making it easier to manage your budget.
How Health Care Sharing Works
Medi-Share 65+ operates on the principle of shared health care responsibility. Members contribute monthly shares into a collective pool used to pay eligible medical expenses. When a medical need arises, funds are drawn from this pool to pay for medical costs, thereby spreading the financial burden across the community. This fosters a sense of solidarity and mutual support among members.
A Step-by-Step Guide to How Medi-Share 65+ Works To Support Medicare Parts A & B
Step 1: Enrollment and Monthly Contributions
To join Medi-Share 65+, individuals must have Medicare Parts A and B and complete an application to become a member of this health care sharing community. Once enrolled, members commit to contributing their specified monthly share amount of either $99/month or $150/month to the community pool, which funds eligible medical expenses, meaning anything Medicare approves and leaves you to pay, is eligible for sharing.
Step 2: Submitting Medical Needs
When you see your provider, you will show them your Medicare card and your Medi-Share 65+ card. Medi-Share 65+ will be secondary to Medicare so when you incur a medical expense, your provider will bill Medicare first. This includes providing documentation and details about the services received. The Medi-Share 65+ team reviews the submission to ensure it meets the criteria for sharing and then members share in your medical costs.
Step 3: Feel The Support
Throughout the sharing process, members actively participate in the community by offering prayers, sharing advice, and providing support to others. This engagement fosters a nurturing environment where caregivers can find solace and strength through shared experiences and spiritual encouragement.
