Altrua HealthShare is a faith-based medical need sharing membership. Medical needs are only shared in by the members according to the membership guidelines. Our members agree to the Statement of Standards and voluntarily submit monthly contributions into an escrow account with Altrua HealthShare acting as a neutral escrow agent between members. Organizations like ours have been operating successfully for years. We are including the following warning for all to consider.

This publication or membership is not issued by an insurance company, nor is it offered through an insurance company. This publication or the membership does not guarantee or promise that your eligible medical needs will be shared by the membership. This publication or the membership should never be considered as a substitute for an insurance policy. If the publication or the membership is unable to share in all or part of your eligible medical needs, or whether or not this membership continues to operate, you will remain financially liable for any and all unpaid medical needs.

This is not a legally binding agreement to reimburse any member for medical needs a member may incur, but is instead, an opportunity for members to care for one another in a time of need, to present their medical needs to other members as outlined in the membership guidelines. The financial assistance members receive will come from other members’ monthly contributions that are placed in an escrow account, not from Altrua HealthShare.
