How A Health Sharing Organisation Works: A Simple Guide for Beginners
A recent study by the AAPA found that 73% of U.S. adults “say that the healthcare system is not meeting their needs in some way.” And considering the stories we’re constantly hearing from our Members about why they chose WeShare, we’re inclined to agree.
At WeShare, we want to offer more than just contracts, fine print, and legalese. We believe your overall health and well-being are directly linked to the level of freedom you feel when accessing, navigating, and engaging with the benefits you receive as a member of a health sharing organisation. That’s why we’ve created this clear guide to help you understand exactly how our health sharing organisation works and how our community supports one another.
Here’s How A Health Sharing Organisation Works:
WeShare serves as a connector, facilitating HCSM Sharing Programs that help Members support each other with their medical expenses. When you become a member of a health sharing organisation like WeShare (you can join at any time!), you contribute a Monthly Contribution Amount, which WeShare records and securely stores in an escrow account. Each month, you’ll receive an explanation showing how your contributions helped other Members with their eligible medical expenses.
When you need healthcare, you’ll present your WeShare Member card to a participating provider. At your appointment, you’ll pay any applicable Consult Fees relevant to your program (don’t worry, we break all of this down clearly). Thanks to our partnership with the largest individual PPO network in the nation (PHCS), WeShare ensures you get the best possible price for your care.
From there, our team takes your provider’s bill, determines if the services you received are eligible for sharing, and applies your Annual Member Care Share (similar to a deductible) based on the membership guidelines and your benefits. We then send eligible amounts to your provider and provide you with an Explanation of Share, so you’ll know what’s left to pay, if anything.
Our community is not just here for emergencies or doctor’s visits; we also partner with various health and wellness organisations to help you care for your overall well-being. You’ll have access to all these membership benefits from the moment you join. Plus, we have a dedicated team to ensure you fully understand your Sharing Program and its benefits.
Join WeShare today and experience the benefits of being part of a health sharing organisation. Take control of your healthcare and become part of a community that supports your well-being.
