Affordable Protection for Major Medical Events
While your Direct Primary Care (DPC) membership expertly handles 80–90% of your everyday medical needs, it is not health insurance. We always recommend having health insurance or catastrophic coverage for major medical events like hospitalizations, surgeries, or ER visits, while DPC becomes your everyday go-to care.
For those who do not have traditional insurance, pairing your DPC membership with a Health Care Sharing Ministry (Health Share) is a highly useful and affordable alternative to bridge that coverage gap.
A Health Share is a community-based, cost-sharing arrangement rather than traditional insurance. Members pay a set monthly contribution into a shared pool, which is then used to help cover large, unexpected medical bills for the community.
Why they are the perfect match:
Comprehensive Protection: Your DPC membership takes care of all your proactive, day-to-day healthcare, while the Health Share steps in for major, unpredictable medical emergencies.
Significant Cost Savings: Because Health Shares do not cover routine care (which you already get through us), their monthly costs are typically just a fraction of traditional health insurance premiums.
Total Freedom: Neither DPC nor Health Shares restrict you to narrow “in-network” providers. You are free to choose the specialists or hospitals that are best for you.
By combining DPC with a Health Share, uninsured patients get highly personalized, accessible daily care along with the financial peace of mind for catastrophic events.
