OLYMPIA, Wash. — Washington state Insurance Commissioner Mike Kreidler fined Unite Health Share Ministries $300,000 [ [link removed] ] on June 28 and ordered it to stop selling insurance in Washington state.  

The Office of the Insurance Commissioner opened an investigation after receiving a complaint that Unite Health had paid only $5,000 on a consumer’s medical claim. The consumer was left with almost $200,000 in medical bills.

“Protecting the people of Washington from predatory organizations is one of my office’s top priorities,” Kreidler said. “These companies promise coverage and leave consumers with massive medical bills. It’s an unacceptable practice and we have rules in place to prevent it.”
