Zion is open from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. MT. Call 888-920-9466.  When you call there will be a menu with options depending on your particular need. 

Hit #3 – Customer Service.  Tell them you need to get an invitation in order to create your Zion Member Portal.  If your membership consists of more than one person, you must verify with Zion if you are creating a Member Portal for the entire membership unit or just for the member who has a sharing request to submit. Zion will send you an email for further instructions in creating your Zion Member Portal. 

Once you get into your Portal, look for a link that reads, “Submit Sharing Request” and click on that link.  

Once you go through that link, read all the information Zion is requesting. Upload all of your documents at once in a PDF format. 

The member is encouraged to open a maternity sharing request as soon as she receives confirmation of her pregnancy.  Maternity requests must be submitted on-line through the member portal. If the member does not yet have access to their portal, follow steps in Q-#2.

Follow the Maternity Checklist in the Maternity Guide:  Zion Maternity Guide

If Member wants to look at their Sharing Request progress, they can go to their Zion member portal and view it.  For questions about their medical need/sharing request, Members must speak directly with Zion Health at 1-888-920-9466 – Option #6. 

Please transfer member  directly to Zion unless a member requests the number to call at another time.  

Ask if “free” visit was for preventive care or diagnostic care.

Ask if a member had the test done and if he/she got a bill. 

Find out if this test is recommended due to a pre-existing condition.

If test was not yet done, get fairest pricing for the test in Healthcare Bluebook, or other sources, etc.

Direct member to check the guidelines of their medical cost sharing organization for this need.  e. Remind member of where their member portal is to upload a Sharing Request/Medical Need and assist them in doing so, if required. 

These types of visits will not be shared unless there further diagnostic medical treatment that exceeds the member’s selected IUA, in which case, they will, then, submit a sharing request.  

If the member has an HSA, s/he may use it for these types of expenses.  

Dental and vision expenses are not shareable unless part of medical need due to accident or injury.  Cataract surgery is eligible for sharing after the membership waiting period.  Refer member to their advisor if they would like to purchase an additional dental/vision plan through the advisor.

General Instructions – How Sedera Members Submit Needs for Sharing: 

  • Open Sedera’s web-based app:  member.sedera.com 
  • Under Menu Bar:  Needs Management Dashboard 
  • Submit a new need (or upload new bills to an existing need) 
  • Under Menu Bar:  Receipt Storage 
 

Members generally pay their medical providers at reduced rates, due to their cash pay status, and submit their Medical Bills/Needs Case(s) to Sedera after delivery.

 If a maternity care provider will reduce the normal charges if a member prepays some or all of the Medical Bills, Sedera will consider sharing the maternity Needs Case prior to the birth.  The member must request an estimate and submit it via the online Needs Case Submittal Process.

 The member should contact a Sedera Member Advisor at 1-855-973-3372

(See Section 6.A.7. in Sedera Guidelines) so that Sedera may assist them through the process. Members who have already experienced a Need that exceeds their Initial Unshareable Amount (IUA) should access their Sedera Member Portal online to open a Needs Case.  The member the organizes their Medical Bills, goes online to sederamcs.org/login, clicks on “Needs Management” from the menu bar and completes the online Needs Case Submittal Process. This includes uploading copies of all relevant Medical Bills and any proof of payments made towards the member’s Maternity Initial Unshareable Amount (IUA). If the member has any questions about the

Needs Case Submittal Process, they should contact a Sedera Member Advisor.

If member wants to see what bills they have already submitted, they must log in and, on the menu, click on Needs Management. They will see the list of cases they have created.

Click on the need they want to check on and click on View Bills. Email needs@sedera.com with any Questions they may have or call Sedera Health at 1-855-973-3372 regarding his/her Need.  

Please transfer member directly to Sedera unless member requests the number to call at another time.  

If the member feels the need to submit a Sharing Request due to potential costs in excess of his/her IUA, the member must follow the guidelines for sharing an alternative treatment need, including a prescription for that treatment by a licensed provider.                    

If the member’s costs will be below his/her IUA amount, recommend checking Choices by Whole Health Living for discounted services in the member’s area.  The member can pay with a credit card or their Health Savings Account (HSA), if they have one. 

Zion HealthShare is the member’s Medical Cost Sharing community who shares in large medical needs.  Planstin is the Third Party Administrator (TPA) for the Minimum Essential Coverage (MEC) plans we offer; an HSA Preventive Plan, which deals only with preventive care services mandated by the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and offers eligibility to open a Health Savings Account (HSA) to pay for smaller medical needs; and a Co-Pay Plan, which offers Preventive Care Services at no co- pay and other services with a co-pay and no deductible. 

Medical incidents that occur within thirty (30) days of the members scheduled age-out at sixty- five (65), will have up to thirty (30) days after their membership end date to submit a sharing  request. All other time limits will remain in effect including: 
– itemized bills and statements must be submitted within six (6) months of the date of service, and 
– the IUA must be paid within six (6) months of the date of service, or they become ineligible for sharing.
