What if you opened your medical insurance policy and read this?
“Patient Responsibility = 0. For all time and in every instance.”
After you picked yourself up off the floor, you’d wonder if it could be true.
Earthly Healthcare
Healthcare and medical coverage represent buzz words in our lives and the media. And many of us have experienced the costly effects of when we or loved ones required needed care. Like my personal example.
“You’re responsible for these medical expenses, Mrs. Friday. Your deductible has not been satisfied and part of the billing is out of your network.” My college son made a trip to the Emergency Room at a nearby hospital. The deductible and out-of-pocket expenses added to a significant amount.
Thankfully, everything turned out alright with my son’s health. But we owed thousands of dollars. I’ve heard similar stories from others. Many shared how the money owed skyrocketed to a surmountable total they didn’t know how they’d ever pay.
Sure, God gave us physical bodies to care for and they break down from time to time. And it’s certainly biblical to ask the Lord for healing.
Heavenly Healthcare
The Lord created us with three vital parts as humans: body, soul and spirit. But have you ever thought about the spiritual care we’ve been blessed with as believers? The care of our spiritual health and the well-being of our soul?
When we come to Christ, we’re automatically enrolled in heaven’s spiritual care program.
The benefits are amazing! A policy we can put complete confidence in with no disclaimers, and nothing has been grandfathered or underwritten that will not be covered.
All items are paid in full. Every time you receive an EOB: Explanation of Benefits, you’ll find this. Patient responsibility = zero.
