How it Works

Individuals, couples, and families contribute financially into the members’ escrow account and we act as the neutral escrow agent for the members. There will no longer be a newsletter of who to share your monthly contributions.

All members must agree to our Statement of Standards.

Members receive monthly contribution requests based on their household size, which they submit to remain active in the membership.

Members present their virtual Membership ID card from our mobile app to their medical provider and the provider submits the medical need according to the card instructions.

Members’ medical needs are shared according to the Membership Guidelines and escrow instructions.
