This is our experience and it is not yet resolved. I hope others have had a better experience. My wife had an emergency surgery on June 2nd and we are still struggling with communication and follow through. We submit immediately when they ask for additional information/documentation but if it submitted horizontal instead of vertically, it is rejected. No notification. Nothing is known about this unless we follow up. Several times they have promised to get back with us, but have yet to follow through. They showed "contracted discount" amounts that they "negotiated" with the provider, but this turned out to be totally false, according to the providers themselves. In the mean time as we are doing our best to get help, our providers are threatening collections. We expected so much more integrity from a Christian organization. About the only Christian value we have experienced, is that they pray for us. We liked this at first, but now seems like a way to pacify us. Their marketing is not honest. They know they are marketing to people looking to find alternatives to traditional health care. When you see $50 Dr visit copay or $500 ER visit or $9000 out of pocket, that is what you expect. The reality is, they don't do the $50 copay or $500 ER until after the $9000 has been satisfied (this is what they told us on the phone). Thus far, of the $46k we owe, our providers say we owe $27k - not $9k. We will report back with better news if it comes.

I just had to write this after hearing their unctuous ads on the radio. Don't fall for that ad of theirs. They don't cover much. They don't pay much. They drag their feet. All of healthcare providers have quit accepting them. They told us to get new ones, who were only ones that took medicare patients. We were essentially lowered to the level of medicare patients and treated as such. They didn't cover much of my wife's procedure even after pre-approval. We had attorneys and bill collector after us. To their credit, they finally got involved and negotiated a settlement for us. But how humiliating to be treated like deadbeats everywhere we went. Plus, the hospital where the procedure was done refused anything but cash upfront from us after that. All while thumping their bibles at you. They make me sick.

They are clueless about health. They insisted I eat almost no meat, high carb, low fat, low protein diet or they would raise my monthly rates. They are giving horrible nutrition information based on flawed 1950's data that will shorten your life. Their "nutritionists" are complete frauds, someone please show them current science. I cancelled soon as I was able to get other coverage.
