FAQ: Is OneShare Health a Non-Profit Organization?
By OneShare Health on 11:00 AM on May 3, 2022
Yes! OneShare Health LLC is a Christian non profit organization and it shares the Section 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status of its parent, OneShare International (d/b/a Anabaptist HealthShare).For readers who aren’t familiar, a non-profit organization (NPO), also known as a “nonbusiness entity” or “not-for-profit organization,” is one that is dedicated to furthering a particular social cause or advocating for a shared point of view. Rather than distributing income to the organization's shareholders, leaders, or members, a non-profit will use its surplus of revenue to further achieve its ultimate objective, which is typically humanitarian in nature.
Non-profits are tax-exempt, or charitable, meaning they do not pay income tax on the money that they receive for their organization.

FAQ: How Is OneShare Health Different From Health Insurance?
By OneShare Health on 11:00 AM on March 16, 2022
Let's learn about the difference between Christian health insurance and a Christian health insurance alternative: an HCSM.
How is OneShare Health different from traditional and Christian health insurance?
Medical sharing programs—also known as “health care sharing” and “health sharing programs”—are offered by Health Care Sharing Ministries like OneShare Health. Thanks to their flexibility, affordability and ACA-exempt status, these Programs are becoming increasingly popular for people who are looking for alternative health care options.
