For providers<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re a healthcare provider, here’s what to know.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

If you have a patient who says they’re a member of Christian Healthcare Ministries (CHM), they’re more than a self-pay patient. They’re part of our biblical health cost sharing community. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

CHM members are patients who pay the self-pay rates and then submit their medical bills to CHM for quick and expedient reimbursement. As a provider, here’s what you need to know about CHM.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

What is Christian Healthcare Ministries?<\/div>

Christian Healthcare Ministries (CHM) is a Bible-based, voluntary medical cost sharing ministry. CHM members have shared over $13 billion in medical costs.<\/p>\n

CHM is an eligible option for individuals under the U.S. Patient Protection and\u00a0Affordable Care Act<\/a>\u00a0(PPACA). This information can be found under 26 U.S.C. \u00a75000A(d)(2)(B)(ii); p. 128.<\/p>\n

CHM has worked with more than 100,000 healthcare providers. CHM members may receive treatment from any facility or physician that meets accepted standards of care as long as the treatment is within\u00a0CHM Guidelines<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

Your patient\u2019s membership in CHM means less paperwork for you (patients should be billed directly) and fewer overhead costs because you don\u2019t need the services of a billing specialist.<\/p>\n

The only item our member needs from you is an itemized medical bill. Please note that itemized bills must include the following information:<\/p>\n
