Here are some frequently asked questions and answers regarding care within PHCS® PPO Network.

Just like any other payer within the PHCS PPO Network, your medical service fees will be paid according to your contracted rate.
All WeShare® by UHSM programs include benefits in which members pay you (the provider) a consult fee per office visit, unless the appointment is a routine annual physical or preventive care, in which case the per visit fee to members is $0.
If you are wondering how much to charge a WeShare® by UHSM member for a particular visit please reference the front of the PHCS Weshare member ID card or the specific Program Details. The per visit consult fee each WeShare® member pays varies per program, but operates similarly to co-pay by aligning with the type of medical consult: primary doctor, specialist, urgent care and emergency room visits. If you have additional questions please contact us.
For any questions about the eligibility of medical services, please submit a preauthorization form here or contact us at 888-275-6157
Preauths take up to 7 business days maximum.

WeShare® is not a reimbursement program. WeShare® is not an insurance company nor is the membership offered through an insurance company. WeShare® membership is offered and administered by Unite Health Share Ministries™ (UHSM), a nonprofit, religious healthcare sharing ministry that facilitates member-to-member sharing of medical expenses. WeShare® is connected through partnerships to provide resources, community, and healthcare for all WeShare® members. WeShare® members have access to pre-negotiated rates for medical services through vast networks, including the PHCS® PPO, CVS Caremark™, BetterHelp, DocDay and CVS MinuteClinic™ networks. Members should never have to pay cash up-front for services in-network, with the only payment incurred at the time of service being the per member, per visit, consultation fee, as outlined in the Membership Guidelines. All Sharing Members are responsible for their own medical expenses, less amounts paid from shared dollars.
