Christian Care Ministry/ Medi-Share Continues Education and Engagement at National Association of Insurance Commissioners Spring Conference

Published on April 17, 2023

Christian Care Ministry (CCM) along with members of the Alliance of Healthcare Sharing Ministries, attended the Spring meeting of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners. One of the main topics of discussion at this and previous NAIC meetings has been the establishment of an independent Healthcare Sharing Accreditation Board (HCSAB).

MELBOURNE, Fl. —  Christian Care Ministry (CCM) along with members of the Alliance of Healthcare Sharing Ministries, attended the Spring meeting of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners. Even though Medi-Share is not insurance, CCM attends NAIC meetings to be a resource and support to Insurance Commissioners and their staff in regards to non-insurance options such as Health Care Sharing.  

One of the main topics of discussion at this and previous NAIC meetings has been the establishment of an independent Healthcare Sharing Accreditation Board (HCSAB). With the creation of this accreditation process it provides third-party validation and additional reassurance about the integrity and credibility of the Medi-Share program as a viable option for families looking to manage healthcare costs in a way that is consistent with their beliefs. 

“Over the past few years, we have built relationships with insurance departments across the United States and have appreciated their feedback and industry advice,” said Evelio Silvera, VP Communications & Government Affairs. “We are proud to say that an independent Health Care Sharing Accreditation process has been established and Medi-Share has gone through the process and are HCSAB accredited.” 

The HCSAB is an independent, non-profit entity. Neither it nor its voting board members are affiliated with or have an interest in any healthcare sharing ministries. Insurance Departments from across the U.S. are familiar with accreditation entities and processes. While, Healthcare Sharing Ministries are not insurance and do not operate as such, the HCSAB set standards and identified best practices for Health Care Sharing organizations.  

Medi-Share’s accreditation reflects the HCSAB’s evaluation of the program across a number of categories that focused on the governance and management of the program, the clarity of communication of the sharing guidelines and other key communications with members, the efficiency and reliability of the sharing of medical bills, and the overall financial health of the program.

Rick Sechler, CFP® Founder of USA Retirement Solutions, Interviewed on the Influential Entrepreneurs Podcast

Published on June 7, 2023

Rick Sechler discusses the advantages of fixed-indexed annuities compared to other income-generating choices. 

Listen to the interview on the Business Innovators Radio Network: 

https://businessinnovatorsradio.com/interview-with-rick-sechler-cfp-founder-of-usa-retirement-solutions/

Fixed-indexed annuities offer several advantages compared to other income-generating products. One of the most significant is the guaranteed income stream they provide for as long as the policyholder is alive. This means people can be sure their retirement savings will last throughout their lifetime, regardless of how markets fluctuate. Fixed-indexed annuities usually have no additional fees or charges so people don’t need to worry about ongoing costs. Fixed-indexed annuities provide peace of mind.

In comparison, other products such as stocks, bonds, and mutual funds may provide higher yields but expose individuals to more risk. There is no guarantee that the value of these investments won’t decrease, leaving their retirement income vulnerable. Furthermore, unlike fixed-indexed annuities, additional fees or charges may be associated with such investments, which can erode returns over time. So, while other income-generating products may offer potential gains in the short term, fixed-income annuities are an excellent option for long-term financial security.

Rick explained: “Fixed-indexed annuities are an attractive option for retirees who want to secure their retirement income and enjoy peace of mind. They protect against the risk of market volatility and additional fees or charges. Ultimately, fixed-indexed annuities can enable retirees to enjoy a comfortable standard of living throughout their retirement years.”

He added, “If you’re looking for reliable income during your retirement, then fixed-indexed annuities should be part of your financial planning. Make sure to speak to a qualified financial advisor before making any investment decisions to make the most informed choice possible. With the right advice and products, you can ensure that your retirement income will last as long as you do.”

Tom Hegna, Author, Speaker, Economist, and Retirement Income Expert, Interviewed on the Influential Entrepreneurs Podcast

Published on June 7, 2023

Tom Hegna discusses how Financial Advisors can thrive in today’s industry to best communicate retirement products with clients and prospects. 

Listen to the interview on the Business Innovators Radio Network:
https://businessinnovatorsradio.com/interview-with-tom-hegna-author-speaker-economist-and-retirement-income-expert/

Financial advisors have the potential to thrive in today’s competitive industry by effectively communicating retirement products with clients and prospects. To do so, they must understand the complexities of these kinds of products and present them in an easily understandable way.

Tom explained: “One essential skill for financial advisors is identifying their client’s needs. This means assessing an individual’s current financial situation, including debt levels, income sources, savings goals, and other investments. With this information, advisors can consider which solutions from a broad range of retirement-specific options best suit each unique client.” 

Once identified, financial advisors should educate their clients on all available options – weighing both short-term and long-term considerations. Advisors should also be able to provide the pros and cons of each option so their clients can make informed decisions about their retirement goals.

In addition to providing clear, easy-to-understand information, financial advisors need to keep up with the ever-changing retirement landscape. By staying current on new products, regulations, and other industry changes, advisors can better provide practical advice tailored to a client’s situation.

It’s important to remember that successful communication requires a deep understanding of both people and products – something that all financial advisors must develop over time. By building relationships with clients based on trust and respect while providing sound advice, advisors will have a better chance of helping clients reach their retirement goals.
