I required back surgery in 2020
I required back surgery in 2020. Went through review, got all required approvals. Paid my share. Then started trying to get hospital bill shared by Liberty. It finally ended up in their MCSS partners who negotiated with the hospital for a lower cost…meanwhile I am making payments out of pocket to avoid collections issues. MCSS told Liberty in summer of 2021 they owed hospital X and needed to reimburse my Y. No ambiguity. Liberty finally submitted for sharing in Sept of 2021…still waiting. They did pay part of the hospital bill, but so far have not reimbursed me…apparently I am considered “backlog”.

Thank you, Jackie, for sharing your experience. Liberty HealthShare facilitates the sharing of members’ contributions to their fellow members’ expenses. As a voluntary sharing program, we are always limited by finite resources, which is why we protect our members SharePower and only share “fair and reasonable” amounts for medical procedures. Our members have access to the Healthcare Bluebook, where you may find providers in your area and see how they compare to other providers in the same vicinity for fair and reasonable pricing as self-pay patients. Your expense was shared with our members and payment sent to your provider who then sent a balance bill, which has now been processed for additional sharing. If you have specific questions about your eligible medical expenses, please contact us directly.
