            I submitted a claim many many months ago and filled out and provided all the CHM recommended forms for my son’s injury in 2023 during a youth football game. I still have not received the Promised gift from CHM. CHM now is asking for a signed waiver or some document from the youth football organization stating they are not responsible for my son’s injuries. I have explained to them there is no waiver and no other document to submit. They refuse to submit the promised gift for reimbursement of our medical costs. They continue to take over $800 per month to keep service, which we are not getting anyway. This is definitely not a Christian way of doing business.

            10/16/2024

            Weve been with *** for about 6 years and the price started out at $499/mo with an out of pocket $500 for a family of 5. We really never had to file a claim thankfully. Now we are a family of 3(2children grown and on their own ins). The monthly cost has steady gone up including the out of pocket **** Just got a letter that as of Jan 2025 the premium will go up to $765 with an out of pocket of $1250. Were about to have to make some decisions. We cant keep increasing the price plus the *** of customer responsibility. We can save $765 per month and pay our medical bills instead of paying CHM and losing that $$$$. Were very frustrated!!!

            Christian Healthcare Ministries, Inc. Response

            10/17/2024

            Hello Monica, Thank you for the opportunity to respond to your concerns. We understand the frustration around rising costs, and know these decisions aren't made without much consideration and research. The Health Care Research Institute of Price Waterhouse Coopers International, one of the world’s Big 4 accounting firms, forecasts an 8% increase in commercial healthcare costs in 2025. Even with these price changes, CHM remains a remarkable value, and we consistently keep administrative costs low so more funds can go toward sharing members’ medical bills. We provide a telehealth option for all our members so they can save money on incidental medical expenses. This service is available at no additional cost on all CHM programs, and we encourage members to take advantage of this perk. We thank you for your membership over the past 6 years, and we hope to be able to continue serving you through our ministry of health cost sharing. Blessings, CHM Staff
