Do I have to be a U.S. Citizen?
To be a member of Impact, you must have one of the following statuses:
The following individual(s) can join Impact Health Sharing.
- Those who possess a U.S.-issued Social Security number and a valid Identification Card issued by the U.S.
- Those who possess an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) and also have a government-issued Identification Card issued by Mexico, Canada, or Guatemala.
Diagnosis and treatment are to be performed in the U.S. to be eligible for sharing. Medical bills incurred while outside the U.S. are only eligible for sharing when the need is the result of a medical emergency (as defined in the Glossary of Terms). If emergency care is received outside of the U.S., the member is responsible for providing supporting documentation necessary for determining eligibility for sharing. Any costs incurred in obtaining necessary records or documentation are the responsibility of the Member.
