*Official Member Guideline
If a member dies after one year of uninterrupted membership, the Zion HealthShare community may provide financial assistance after receiving a copy of the death certificate. The surviving family may receive $10,000 per deceased member.
The surviving family must notify Zion HealthShare of the member’s passing within 60 days by providing the death certificate. The individual membership can be canceled and does not need to stay active to receive the End of Life Assistance or remaining sharing. Any remaining eligible medical expenses must be submitted to Zion HealthShare within 90 days of the death for review of sharing. Expenses submitted after 90 days will not be eligible for sharing.
