1. Obtain medical care as soon as you know you’re pregnant.
2. Ask for an estimate of charges on your clinic/hospital/doctor’s letterhead. These charges are often bundled as a one or two-day stay (sometimes called a “Stork Package”) and are significantly less expensive than being admitted to a facility when it’s time to give birth.
3. Submit the estimate of charges and/or bills to the Christian Healthcare Ministries office. Early submission speeds the time for bill sharing. Notify the CHM office immediately if your health care provider sets a time limit for reduced charges (seven months is common.) Send items to:
Christian Healthcare Ministries
Attn: Needs Processing
127 Hazelwood Ave.
Barberton, OH 44203
4. Any charge (lab, sonogram, etc.) incurred after the original estimate/bills are submitted should be sent to the address above as an “add-on” to the initial amount. Add-on and original bills will be presented for sharing at the same time.
