Enrollment fee to join is $10 per month for individuals and $15 per month for a family. Initial membership period is required to be 6 months ( So individuals pay $60 to join for 6 months and families pay $90 for 6 months). Renewal periods are for 12 months each year (So payments are $120 for individual and $180 for family for annual renewals). Zakat eligible individuals join for free ( when annual income is less than $15,000 ).
Complete an application form for enrollment. Each person wishing to join needs to fill up a separate application, including children.

If you use the providers in the network you will pay the discounted fee negotiated by CCN to obtain substantial savings. If you need these services call us first.
