They agree when signing up. I'm assuming that claims for pregnancy, etc for unmarried participants would be red flags.

Medical sharing is not an insurance company. It's an alternative to the health care exchange. You have to meet whatever restrictions they place on membership. The rationale is that they do not cover expensive procedures that are considered lifestyle-related. For those that qualify, the monthly cost can be really low. But it certainly doesn't fit everyone.

I have never heard of this before either. Are these medical sharing companies nationwide? I have friends who may be interested...but I do have a question...if you are married and get pregnant do they do a dna test on the baby to make sure the husband is the father? I can certainly understand asking people to follow a strict regimen of a healthy lifestyle and rewarding them with lower premiums but cannot figure out how they would prove you are not drinking or smoking or having sex on a limited basis.

Sandy, there are several and yes, nationwide. Search on "medical sharing." It's my understanding (full disclosure, I don't use it) that lifestyle-caused disease fall under non-covered incidents. Highly doubtful that a DNA test is required. I don't know about proof, but it seems to me that someone who agreed they don't and won't smoke, but comes down with lung cancer attributable to smoking would be guilty of fraud if they took money under false pretenses.

SSD is for disability, SSI is supplementary Security Income—and is awarded when your regular SS or SSD is below a certain amount.
