In the health care industry, there can be many unknowns. But when it comes to OneShare Health, we work hard to provide our Members with transparency, especially when it comes to the sharing process and how exactly your Monthly Contributions are used to facilitate the sharing of Eligible health care costs within our Sharing Community.

Maybe you or a loved one has been furloughed, and paying for traditional health insurance is no longer feasible. But did you know that you can still access quality health care by trusted health care providers without going the traditional route? Ever heard of “medical cost sharing”?

Whether a Health Care Sharing Ministry is new to you or not, we want to make sure you are well equipped to use our Programs optimally and effectively.
