What Is CHM Plus?

By The WhichHealthShare EditorsReviewed August 2026
Short answer

CHM Plus is Christian Healthcare Ministries’ optional rider that lifts the base $125,000 per-illness sharing cap. Our CHM file prices Plus at $42 per unit per month and says it extends sharing to $1 million per illness on Silver/Bronze, or unlimited on Gold. Base CHM membership without Plus is $115–$299/mo individual. CHM is not HSA-compatible. This page does not enroll CHM. Medi-Share, which we can enroll, lists no annual or lifetime sharing cap (n/a/mo individual).

CHM Plus is a cap rider, not a second ministry. The numbers below are the same ones on our existing CHM review file and the HSA-compatibility answer. This page does not replace those URLs.

Why the rider exists

Base CHM is the cheapest Christian-statement ministry on this site ($115–$299/mo individual). The tradeoff on the same file is the $125,000 per-illness sharing cap. Plus is how CHM sells a higher cap without changing the base membership. We are not inventing a third price.

Medi-Share's file lists No sharing limits beyond the first month of membership. Sharing is limited to $50,000 the first month of membership. See Medi-Share Guidelines for limitations on sharing of pre-existing conditions and maternity.. If the reason you searched CHM Plus is “I do not want a $125,000 ceiling,” that is the enrollable plan on this page. We do not enroll CHM or Samaritan.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is CHM Plus?

CHM Plus is an optional add-on on Christian Healthcare Ministries. The base program shares eligible bills up to $125,000 per illness. Our CHM plan file says the Plus add-on is $42 per unit per month and extends that cap to $1 million per illness on Silver/Bronze, or unlimited on Gold. It is not insurance and it is not a separate ministry.

Do I have to buy CHM Plus?

No. Base CHM membership shares without Plus, subject to the $125,000 per-illness cap on the plan file. Plus is the rider if you want that cap lifted. This page does not enroll CHM either way.

Is CHM Plus HSA-compatible?

No. CHM itself is not HSA-compatible on this site’s HSA answer — it does not meet IRS High Deductible Health Plan rules. Adding Plus does not change that. HSA-eligible options we already publish are HSA Secure, Zion HealthShare, and Sedera.

What is the enrollable alternative if I do not want a per-illness cap?

Medi-Share’s plan file lists No sharing limits beyond the first month of membership. Sharing is limited to $50,000 the first month of membership. See Medi-Share Guidelines for limitations on sharing of pre-existing conditions and maternity.. Monthly shares on that file are n/a individual. That is the enroll path on this page — not a CHM enroll link.
