How Quickly Will My Health Share Pay For My Medical Bills?

It’s important to know how long you should expect your medical bills to be paid through your Health Share (or reimbursed, if applicable). While every Health Share has a different turnaround time, you can expect your medical bills to be paid anywhere from 5-10 business days (the fastest) to around 90 business days (the longest), with an average turnaround time of 45 days. The turnaround time starts after the Health Share member or the healthcare provider has submitted all of the itemized bills or receipts to be processed.

Which Health Share Should I Join?

There are a lot of Health Share plans to choose from, which is great, but it can also get overwhelming! 

After much research on all of the Health Shares, I ended up writing an article on the Best Health Share Plans. In this post, I narrow it all down and let you know which health share plans I recommend.

Health shares are not insurance and do not offer insurance coverage. Membership in a health share does not guarantee the payment or reimbursement of medical expenses. Each organization operates under its own membership guidelines, which determine what expenses may be eligible for sharing. This publication is for informational purposes only and is not provided by an insurance company. For state-specific notices and full program details, please visit the respective health share’s official website.

Hello! My name is Holly, and I am so happy you have found my website! Before I left the workforce to become a stay-at-home mom, I spent 11 years working for an Investing Education company, later acquired by a large brokerage firm, where I specialized in Risk Management. With that experience, I have become very thorough with legal documents, which I used to comb through and really deep dive into each Health Share’s website to determine what medical bills are actually shareable with their members. I have created Health Share 101 to provide the information you need to make an educated decision for you and your family.
