Due to the ever-rising cost of health insurance premiums, finding alternatives to traditional health insurance, including participation in healthcare sharing programs, has dramatically increased. Typically, healthcare sharing programs operate outside of traditional health insurance, allowing them to operate at a cost that is substantially less than traditional health insurance. Savings compared to traditional plans, can be as much as 60% less.

Direct Primary Care, is a new model for delivering primary healthcare, and its simplicity is its genius. DPC members receive an all-access pass to a dedicated doctor through virtual office visits, phone calls, text messaging and even video calls – with a $0 copay and no deductible! Physicians are accessible 24/7/365.
You could see a doctor in person, but who wants the hassle. It’s the 21st century, so we give you the tools to reach us from your home, your car, the office, the store, or even out on the beach during your relaxing vacation. The goal of Direct Primary Care is to make it simple and affordable to get the help you need whenever and wherever you need it, day or night.
A concierge doctor can refer you to specialists as necessary, refill a prescription, or help you manage a chronic condition. The care provided through a DPC plan allows for a more hands-on approach as compared to a standard telemedicine plan. The DPC physician is able to prescribe pain medicine, and prescriptions for more chronic conditions which a telemedicine plan cannot. A dedicated Care Navigator will help you through the other parts of the healthcare system, should the need arise – making sure you always get the right care, at the right time and place and fair price. DPC isn’t a replacement for insurance or a medical cost sharing membership that covers catastrophic events. It works with your health insurance plan or medical cost sharing membership to make it even better!
Sounds simple enough, but can I really get quality care through a virtual consult?
ALL THE ABOVE BENEFITS INCLUDED FOR ONE LOW PRICE!!!

Smart Choice Plan™ - Gold Level
(Administered through Zion Health)
The Gold Level provides coverage for hospitalization and out-patient surgery benefits, along with other medical expenses through a healthshare plan.
IUA OUTLINE
The Initial Unsharable Amount (IUA) for each member’s medical need is the responsibility of member, like a deductible. All qualified medical expenses after IUA is met are shareable with the Zion Health community at 100% and without an annual or lifetime limit.
ADVANTAGE
For each medical need, the community shares in medical expenses after the initial unshareable amount (IUA) is met. This amount paid by the member does not need to be paid again until you are symptom free for 12 months.
RECAP
The Initial Unsharable Amount (IUA) is better for members than a deductible when a large medical need comes up. Often care for a sickness or injury is not limited to a single calendar year. Members generally save by having an IUA.
All members will receive a benefits card which may be presented to medical provider at time of service so you don’t have to worry about filing any claims yourself. Any hospital or surgical center may be used. Most claims are paid to provider within 5 working days!
IMPORTANT HEALTH SHARE TERMINOLOGY
- Health Share Program vs Insurance
- Initial Unshareable Amount (IUA) vs Deductible
- Visit Fee vs Co-pay
- Eligible for Sharing vs Covered
- Monthly Contributions vs Premiums
- Medical Needs Fee vs Claims
- Shared Services vs Benefits
NOTE: If you are on COBRA currently, or other coverage, and wish to obtain new coverage, do not cancel coverage until you have been fully accepted. The reason for this is that you, and anyone you wish to have covered, will need to medically qualify for the plan from and underwriting standpoint. In other words, if you have a major health issue, stay where you are.
