Active participation in a qualifying health care sharing ministry meets a North Dakota college's health coverage requirement for enrollment. This option excludes international students covered by the law's visa-related insurance rules. Ministry participation is not insurance and does not guarantee payment of medical bills.
North Dakota colleges must ensure international students subject to federal visa health insurance rules obtain an insurance policy. This includes J, F, or M visa holders when those rules apply. Policies must meet U.S. Department of State minimum standards and State Board of Higher Education policy. Ministry participation does not replace this required insurance.
Qualifying health care sharing ministries are not insurance businesses and are exempt from rules for insurance companies. They must be 501(c)(3) nonprofits whose members share ethical or religious beliefs. They arrange help through member contributions under their own criteria, without taking on risk or promising payment. Members must receive the prior month's dollar total of qualified needs shared. Ministries must obtain an annual independent certified public accounting firm audit using generally accepted accounting principles. They must post it online or provide it on request. Written notices with all applications and guidelines must explain that the ministry, its plan, and participation are not insurance. Notices must also explain that participation is voluntary and members remain responsible for their medical bills.
