CHM's catastrophic bills program
Brother’s Keeper is your safeguard against catastrophic illness or injury. Brother’s Keeper is a low-cost, biblically-based program enabling CHM members to meet medical bills that exceed the $125,000 limit per illness specified in the CHM Guidelines.
Gold level members: Signing up for Brother’s Keeper provides unlimited cost support per illness (diagnosis).
Silver and Bronze members: Signing up for Brother’s Keeper provides an additional $100,000 of cost support. With each annual Brother’s Keeper renewal, participants receive an additional $100,000 of assistance, up to $1 million per illness.
For medical needs exceeding $125,000, Brother’s Keeper members send a monthly gift amount of $22 per unit (see our cost calculator) to the CHM office, where it is deposited in an audited Member Sharing Account.
Members must be enrolled in Brother's Keeper prior to experiencing any signs, symptoms, testing or treatment for sharing of bills over $125,000. Please note, however, that there is no Brother's Keeper sharing for congenital conditions or birth defects. Please also see the CHM Guidelines for information about Brother's Keeper and pre-existing conditions.
