Sign Up for a HealthShare Plan from Zion HealthShare
At Verve Health, we’re excited to announce our partnership with Zion HealthShare — a trusted non-profit healthshare organization — to bring our patients competitive, affordable healthshare plans. Together, we are creating more options for individuals, families, companies, and organizations who want an alternative to the rising costs and rigid rules of traditional health insurance.
Zion HealthShare empowers its members to take control of their health by offering an affordable, community-driven solution for medical cost sharing. As a non-profit, Zion HealthShare enables members to contribute to one another’s medical expenses, creating a compassionate system of medical cost sharing that prioritizes people over profits.
What Is a HealthShare Plan?
A healthshare is a nonprofit, membership-based community where members voluntarily share the costs of medical care. Unlike traditional insurance, healthshares do not operate through policies, premiums, or insurance companies. Instead, members with shared values agree on community guidelines that define what kinds of medical expenses are eligible for sharing.
Each member has a personal responsibility amount — a set portion of their expenses they pay before costs are shared — and after that, eligible medical needs are submitted for sharing across the community. This system of shared responsibility fosters collaboration, cost savings, and greater transparency, making healthcare more accessible and affordable.
Benefits of a HealthShare
Cost Efficiency
Healthshares typically have lower monthly contributions than traditional health insurance. By pooling members’ contributions and sharing eligible expenses, they offer significant savings on healthcare costs.
Freedom of Choice
Many healthshares let members choose any healthcare provider, without being tied to limited insurance networks. This gives you the freedom to select doctors, specialists, and facilities that best meet your needs.
Year-Round Enrollment
Unlike traditional insurance, healthshares don’t lock you into limited enrollment periods. You can join at any time — whether you’re an individual, family, or business — making it easy to get coverage when you need it.
Transparency & Simplicity
Healthshares often provide detailed reports on how member contributions are used, offering peace of mind and financial accountability. As non-profit organizations, they also make their financial records (such as 990 forms) available upon request.
Additional Services
Beyond covering large medical expenses, many healthshares offer added benefits like preventive care services, prescription discounts, telehealth, and mental health support.
Why HealthShare Works So Well with Direct Primary Care
Direct Primary Care (DPC) pairs perfectly with a healthshare plan. At Verve Health, our DPC model gives you unlimited access to your primary care provider for a flat monthly fee — covering routine visits, wellness checks, chronic condition management, and more without the hassle of insurance billing.
When combined with a healthshare, you gain protection for larger, unexpected medical expenses (like hospital stays or surgeries) while your DPC membership keeps your everyday care affordable and accessible. This combination helps you stay proactive about your health, avoid unnecessary costs, and eliminate the stress of navigating complex insurance systems.
