CHM has meant so much to me and my family. They’ve helped us save money on health costs, and I love sharing about CHM so that others can save too.
CHM is run by Christians and is for Christians who come together to bear one another’s burdens. We’re part of a ministry that takes care of one another through some of life’s most challenging times. Earning $200 referral rewards by sharing CHM with others is a bonus that has saved us money, too!
Top tips when referring CHM to others
- Tell others why you chose CHM and be open about your experience.
One top question I get is, “Does it actually work?” The short answer is yes, but people relate more to stories and examples. Through knee and ankle injuries and most recently welcoming our son into the world, CHM has shown up every step of the way. I explain how CHM has prayed for us, answered questions, and given guidance. When I don’t have the answers, I encourage them to contact CHM directly.
- Explain how CHM is different from traditional insurance, and why that’s a good thing!
Health cost sharing can be a leap of faith for those who have always had traditional health insurance. I like to share the advantages of a health cost sharing ministry. CHM doesn’t have a provider network—you choose the healthcare provider that’s best for you and bills are shared according to the CHM Guidelines. The Guidelines determine what medical expenses are eligible for sharing, which is great, because they help CHM members share medical bills according to biblical principles.
- Share CHM on social media.
If you want to refer others to join CHM, but are nervous or don’t know where to begin, start by posting about CHM on social media. It can be an easy way to spread the word to your Christian community. Invite people to ask you about your experience. You never know who might need it and how it may change their life. Since I started telling others about CHM, my confidence has grown. I’m thankful I took the first step to tell someone about my experience.
Referring friends to CHM allows us to save money, but even more rewarding are the individuals, couples, and families who have switched to CHM and have come back to tell me how grateful they are. Many wish they’d heard about CHM sooner!
Open enrollment is a great opportunity to start sharing CHM. By using these tips, you’ll be well on your way to helping others discover this alternative to insurance and start earning referral rewards yourself.
