THE HEALTHCARE SHARING MINISTRY WAS INITIALLY FOUNDED BY THE MELITA CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP AND LATER EXPANDED TO INCLUDE PERSONS WHO FOLLOW CATHOLIC SOCIAL TEACHINGS. MEMBERS ARE JOINED TOGETHER BY A SHARED RELIGIOUS FAITH AND COMMON GOAL OF MUTUAL AID AND FINANCIAL SHARING. BECAUSE JESUS CHRIST COMMISSIONED HIS DISCIPLES NOT ONLY TO PREACH THE GOSPEL BUT TO HEAL THE SICK (MATTHEW 10:8), CONCERN FOR THE BODY IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE FOR CHRISTIANS, PARTICULARLY FOR CATHOLICS. INFORMED BY CATHOLIC SOCIAL TEACHING, THE ORGANIZATION ASSISTS ITS MEMBERS IN ACCESSING MEDICAL CARE, EVEN AFTER A MEMBER DEVELOPS A MEDICAL CONDITION. THE ORGANIZATION'S HYBRID REPRICING STRATEGY THAT INCLUDES REFERENCE-BASED DISCOUNTS ON MEDICAL BILLS, MEDICAL BILL REVIEW, SINGLE CASE AGREEMENTS, AND PREFERRED PROVIDER RELATIONSHIPS HELPS TO REDUCE THE TOTAL COST OF MEDICAL EXPENSES ON BEHALF OF OUR MEMBERS.

STARTING IN SEPTEMBER 2020, THE MONTHLY SHARE AMOUNT RECEIVED FROM MEMBERS WAS DEPOSITED INTO SEPARATE MEMBER ESTABLISHED ACCOUNTS AT HELD BY A THIRD-PARTY BANK. THE ACCOUNTS ARE OWNED BY THE MEMBER AND THE BANK ACTS AS A FIDUCIARY FOR THE MEMBER. SINCE THESE NEW ACCOUNTS ARE HELD AS A FOR BENEFIT OF (FBO) ACCOUNT ON BEHALF OF THE MEMBER BY THE CREDIT UNION AND THE SHARING DOLLARS CAN ONLY BE USED FOR SHARING MEDICAL EXPENSES AMONG ALL OF THE MEMBERS, IT WILL NO LONGER BE REPORTED AS INCOME TO THE ORGANIZATION BUT WILL STILL BE REPORTED ON THE 990 AND THE YEARLY AUDITS AS SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION.THE ORGANIZATION PROVIDES SERVICES TO OUR MEMBERS TO ASSIST THEM IN ACCESSING MEDICAL CARE TO INCLUDE A HYBRID REPRICING STRATEGY THAT INCLUDES REFERENCE-BASED DISCOUNTS ON MEDICAL BILLS, MEDICAL BILL REVIEW, SINGLE CASE AGREEMENTS, AND PREFERRED PROVIDER RELATIONSHIPS TO REDUCE THE TOTAL COST OF MEDICAL EXPENSES ON BEHALF OF OUR MEMBERS.
