Health insurance involves a contractual agreement with a for-profit company and regular premium payments. Healthcare sharing is a voluntary, not-for-profit system where individuals with similar beliefs share resources to pay medical expenses.
Unlike insurance policies with detailed contracts and guarantees, healthcare sharing involves no formal contracts or promises of payment. Instead, members contribute monthly share amounts, which are used to pay eligible medical expenses incurred by other members. While insurance pools risk across a large group of policyholders, healthcare sharing involves a more community-oriented approach, with eligibility based on shared beliefs and values rather than actuarial risk assessment.
ShareRight is made up of individuals, families, and small businesses who share common beliefs and ethical values. We believe in inclusivity, with no barriers based on race, color, religion, or creed. View our Statement of Shared Beliefs & Ethics.
Membership enrollment is open year-round, allowing you the flexibility to select the month you prefer for your membership to begin.
The monthly share amount is determined by factors such as the age of the eldest individual in your household, the number of applicants, and your chosen Primary Responsibility Amount.

Prescription medication costs can be applied towards the Primary Responsibility Amount (PRA) unless they pertain to chronic pre-existing conditions at the time of joining ShareRight.
Once the member's PRA is fulfilled, prescription expenses are shared according to the following guidelines:
- For generic drug prescriptions, sharing begins after the initial $25.
- For brand-name prescriptions when generics are unavailable, sharing starts after the initial $50.
- Prescription medications must be purchased using the member ID card (refer to Rx information on the card).
- Members are responsible for paying 100% of the prescription cost at the pharmacy.
- Eligible prescription drugs include those dispensed, injected, or administered.
Please note that psychotropic medication and birth control expenses are not eligible for sharing.
The shareable amount is capped at $1200 per member per membership year after the PRA has been met. For further details on how this process operates, click here.

As ShareRight Healthcare operates differently from insurance, there is no individual deductible. Instead, there is a Primary Responsibility Amount (PRA) per household.
The PRA represents the annual amount payable by the household before eligible medical expenses become eligible for sharing.
You can select from five options: $1,000 (exclusive to those 65 years and older with Medicare A & B), $2,500, $5,000, $7,500, and $10,000.
After reaching the Primary Responsibility Amount, members are responsible for paying 10% (the Co-Share amount) of all eligible medical bills. The remaining 90% is shared among the Impact membership.
A Co-Share limit of $5,000 per year, per household, is in place. This means that once a member has paid a total of $5,000 in Co-Shares, they will not be required to contribute further until the amount resets on their Membership Date.
The provider fee represents the payment made by the member to the medical provider for each visit.
This fee cannot be applied to the PRA and remains payable even after the PRA has been met.
Provider fee rates are as follows:
- Telehealth: $0
- Primary care visit: $50
- Specialist visit or outpatient services: $75
- Urgent care: $100
- Emergency room or inpatient hospitalization: $150
- Impact Seniors: $0
Each membership year includes one annual/well visit.
This visit encompasses a $150 allowance for routine labs.

Under the ACA, employers with at least 50 full-time employees are obligated to provide MEC (Minimum Essential Coverage) to their workforce, known as the "employer mandate," which remains in effect today.
As a healthcare sharing organization, ShareRight does not fulfill the criteria for MEC (Minimum Essential Coverage).
As a result, organizations with 50 or more employees that offer ShareRight Health Sharing must also provide a separate MEC program alongside ShareRight.
