Summary of sharing

ShareRight, as a program of Impact Health Sharing, adheres to Impact Health Sharing's guidelines to ensure that healthcare services are provided in alignment with ethical standards and personal beliefs.

Sharing Overview

Annual Sharing Limit

Each member's annual sharing cap is set at $500,000 per membership year.


CO-SHARE ARRANGEMENTS

As a ShareRight member, once your PRA requirement has been fulfilled, you contribute 10% towards all Eligible Medical Bills as part of a co-share arrangement. The remaining 90% is distributed for sharing among the Share Right membership.

Additionally, there is a co-share limit of $5,000 per household per year. Essentially, once the 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.

CO-SHARE MAXIMUM The household is subject to a co-share limit of $5,000 per membership year.
Limitation During Initial 60 Days of Membership

Initial 60-Day Membership Provision:

During the first 60 days of membership, members can have up to $50,000 of their Eligible Medical Bills shared (excluding pre-existing conditions).

This provision does not extend to newborns added within 30 days of birth. Additionally, maternity sharing is capped at $150,000 per single pregnancy event per year. There is no lifetime limit on sharing.

 

Lifetime Sharing Caps for Smokers

Medical cost sharing for tobacco users aged 50 and older is restricted to $50,000 lifetime for each of the following four disease categories:

  • Stroke
  • Cancer
  • Heart Conditions
  • Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

    The tobacco assessment does not apply to seniors.
Submission of Member Bills

Member Bill Submission Procedure:

If a member needs to submit a bill for processing, it must be done electronically using the Medical Expense Form (MEF) at

MEMBER CENTER

When completing a Medical Expense Form (MEF), members must ensure they have obtained all necessary information for processing. Only MEFs containing all required information will be accepted for processing.

Outpatient Mental Health Services

Specialist Provider Fee: $75

Co-Share: 10% once PRA has been met

Eligibility for Sharing: Services must be performed by a qualified provider, up to 5 visits per member per membership year.

Note: Outpatient Mental Health providers are categorized as Specialists for provider fee purposes and are subject to the PRA and co-share.

PRE-EXISTING MEDICAL CONDITIONS

Pre-Existing Medical Conditions are characterized by signs, symptoms, testing, diagnosis, treatment, or medication usage within 36 months before membership (as per medical records.)

A known sign denotes any abnormality suggestive of disease identified during examination or diagnostic testing before joining the membership. Symptoms refer to subjective indications of disease, while signs are objective.

For instance, if you were diagnosed with cancer in complete remission and are undergoing surveillance testing, related bills won't be eligible for sharing within the initial 36 months of membership.

Following this period, if you remain without signs, symptoms, testing (apart from surveillance), diagnosis, or medication treatment, medical expenses associated with the cancer diagnosis become eligible for sharing.

Pre-elgibilty review

A pre-eligibility review is required for any of the following treatments to be eligible for sharing:

•    Cancer Treatment

•    Elective Cardiac Procedures

•    Non-emergency inpatient/outpatient surgery

•    Organ/Tissue Transplant Services

•    Maternity

•    Imaging: MRIs and Nuclear Imaging (i.e. PET scans)

3-5 business day notice required, expedited review on a case-by-case basis. Medical records are required to determine pre-eligibility and failure to provide requested records for review will result in the bill being ineligible for sharing.

Providers may request pre-eligibility by calling (855) 378-6777 or online.
