A Lehi father says the medical bills for his son's delivery were not covered as this father expected. He is enrolled in a faith-based health care cost-sharing plan where members share the costs of each other's health expenses.

Trouble did not show up until Miles' delivery bills did. Littledike says one of the doctors sent him the entire bill, so he called the billing department.

The Littledikes use Medi-Share. Technically, it is not insurance. It is a faith-based health care cost-sharing plan where members share the costs of each other's health expenses. Ryan Littledike says that all the other medical bills incurred during Miles' delivery were billed to the plan.The bill in question comes from the services of a doctor who was called in to assist by Granger Medical Clinic, which Littledike says refuses to budge.

No one from Granger Medical Clinic would talk about this on camera, but the company's president and CEO, Mary Jane Pennington, M.D., answered our questions by phone. She confirmed they do not work with Medi-Share or any cost-share plan. For anyone on a cost-share plan, Granger Medical says they bill the patient and expect them to work it out with their plan themselves.
