CHA is secondary to all other sources of reimbursement for a member’s medical bills, including any health insurance, liability insurance, worker’s compensation, or other aid programs in which the member participates, with the exception of Medicaid. Medical bills must be submitted to these sources first and all resources exhausted before bills will be considered for sharing.

I understand that self-pay medical bills eligible for sharing as incidents are reviewed and negotiated to establish fair pricing. For this reason it is important that members do not pay their bills on the date of service unless they are confident that the entire incident will be their responsibility to pay.
