Get Access to Great Healthcare Through a Healthsharing Program
If you are looking for an alternative to the traditional health insurance market, but still want the security and top level medical care at an affordable price, these programs may be right for you.
Non-denominational health share plans are available to purchase year round
With the every increasing rates of health insurance each year more consumers are opting out of the traditional health insurance route and jumping on board with health sharing programs or other alternatives. Some may even feel like not carrying any health coverage at all leaving their families vulnerable to large out of pocket expenses in the event of a medical emergency.
Health sharing programs take a different approach to protecting its members by offering both standard plans and more comprehensive options to encase all families needs. Typically these plans are organized under a various ministries or other religious organizations, healthcare sharing programs are able to operate outside of the traditional scope of medical insurance. These allow the plans to operate at a cost that is substantially less than their traditional health insurance counterparts, while still offering the protection that families are looking for.
What Is A Healthcare Sharing Program?
These are faith-based programs, albeit with various affiliations and different religious denominations that facilitate voluntary sharing of risk among members for eligible medical expenses. Specifically, members submit their monthly shares (similar to premiums) which are then distributed to qualified members with approved medical expenses in accordance to their program guidelines. They are built on the principle of people with similar beliefs and values who have come together to share each other’s hardships, which has a similar structure to the risk-pooling in which standard health insurance policies abide by.
Although one major impact that these plans have had on the public is that they create an affordable method of obtaining protection from medical costs at a much lower cost to the consumer. Eligible members in the healthcare sharing programs can expect premiums of $300 to $500 per month, compared to the traditional health insurance for an average unsubsidized family plan through the marketplace can run around $1500 per month. It becomes very clear why these plans have gained traction for those families who do not qualify for premium assistance either due to income restrictions or the availability of group coverage.
It is important to remember that healthcare sharing programs are not health insurance policies. A big reason why the cost difference is so great is that they do not have to abide by the ACA laws that govern health insurance plans. They may offer more limited coverage to suit a lower budget and many limitations of the programs are there to manage potential costs and claims of the healthcare sharing program as well as following the faith-based nature of the program to follow the values of the like-minded consumers.
Keep in mind that the programs do fulfill the mandate set forth by the Affordable Care Act (ACA) mandating that individuals carry health insurance. While this may be a moot point in terms of the actual penalty thanks to the latest legislative changes, you can rest assured you are at least meeting that requirement and have one less thing to worry about.
In order to become a member, many healthcare sharing programs require that you agree with a statement of faith, or attestation that states your values and verifies your status as a like-minded member of the program.

How is Healthcare Sharing Different From Traditional Insurance Plans?
With a traditional health insurance plan, premiums are sent to the insurance company each month. Every time that a member goes to the doctor or services are rendered, additional payments are made through the form of a co-pay. These costs typically do not go towards the members deductible. Alternatively when a member needs lab work (IE: X-rays, blood drawn, etc.) the member pays the full cost up until they have met their deductible, and then only a portion of the remaining bill is covered by their insurance.
Some plans have separate drug/prescription deductibles that the member needs to meet, outside of their regular deductible. Many of the prescriptions are subject to co-pays which again may not go towards your separate plan deductible, and further driving your cost for care up.
With a healthcare sharing program, individuals have agreed to take control of their own healthcare, making decisions to keep themselves healthy. Often times a sharing program will have the members attest to a statement of faith stating they will abstain from unhealthy lifestyles such as:
- Drinking
- Smoking
- Using drugs
- Illicit behavior that increases your chances of harm
- Dangerous activities that could injure yourself
Overall cost of these programs then in turn are naturally lower than their counterparts due to the savings from the plan, but also in lifestyle choices. Members who are healthier typically have lower medical bills than those who rely on their insurance company to take care of their issues for them.
