How to Join the Reciprocal Assistance Community
Becoming a member of the Reciprocal Assistance Community (RAC) is a straightforward process designed to build a network of mutual support. Follow the steps below to begin your journey toward healthcare peace of mind.
Step 1: Application and Verification
To ensure the integrity of our community, all prospective members must complete a basic application. This helps us maintain a secure and reliable network for all participants.
-
Complete the online enrollment form with your basic contact information.
-
Review and agree to the Community Covenant, which outlines our shared commitment to direct, peer-to-peer support.
Step 2: Establish Your Administrative Account
The RAC is powered by its members. To keep the platform running, hiring reviewers, and maintaining the notification system, we require a nominal administrative fee
Monthly Administrative Fee: $1.00 per month.
Set up your preferred payment method for this automated monthly fee. This ensures your membership remains active so you can receive assistance when needed.
Step 3: Understand the Fund Commitment
Before your membership is finalized, it is vital to understand how the micro-payment system works. Unlike traditional insurance, you do not pay a high monthly premium to a central corporation.
-
The $30 Monthly Cap: You agree to a maximum contribution of $30.00 per month to help other members with their medical bills.
The "Hold" Responsibility: In months where no bills are submitted, you are responsible for setting aside your $30.00. This ensures that the community has sufficient reserves ready for future needs.
Step 4: Receive Your Welcome Kit
Once your administrative account is active, you will receive a digital Welcome Kit. This includes:
-
Your unique Member ID.
-
Instructions on how to submit a medical bill for review.
-
Access to the Community Ledger for full transparency of all peer-to-peer assistance
Step 5: Active Participation
You are now a full member! Watch for notifications regarding fellow members in need. Your prompt micro-payments are what make this community strong. Remember, your coverage percentage begins at 25% in your first year and increases by 11% every year you remain an active member.
