For Members

Are you a health share member?

As a health share member, you're essentially a self-pay patient. That means hospital cash prices and self-pay rates apply to you — and those prices vary by 3–10x between hospitals in the same city. Compare prices before you schedule care.

1

Search your procedure

2

Compare cash prices nearby

3

Share the lowest price with your ministry

Same MRI — Same City

Hospital A

$450

vs

Hospital B

$2,800

Your members deserve to know the difference. That's $2,350 that stays in the sharing pool.

Why This Matters

Built for the Full Care Lifecycle

Health share members aren't insured — they're self-pay patients who share costs as a community. We cover every step: pre-care price shopping, visit preparation, provider negotiation, and post-care bill verification. Every dollar saved is a dollar that stays in the sharing pool.

Reduce Sharing Amounts

When members choose a $15,000 option instead of a $45,000 one, the community saves $30,000. Price shopping has a direct, measurable impact on your pool.

Verifiable Data

Every price comes from CMS-mandated hospital disclosures — published by the hospitals themselves and verifiable by anyone. No estimates or black-box models.

Member Retention

“We give every member access to hospital price comparison and negotiation tools” is a differentiator when competing for new members.

For Your Members

Everything a Self-Pay Patient Needs

From finding the lowest price to negotiating the final bill — your members get tools that no other health share provides.

Compare Real Hospital Prices

Search cash and self-pay prices for thousands of procedures across 5,000+ hospitals. See which hospital near you charges the least — with value scoring that factors in quality.

Negotiation Call Scripts

Word-for-word scripts customized with your local market data. Know exactly what to say when you call the billing department — and what fair price to ask for.

Price Challenge Letters

Generate printable letters citing what nearby hospitals charge for the same procedure. Formal documentation that hospitals take seriously.

Negotiation Leverage Scores

See how strong your negotiating position is, based on how the hospital's price compares to the market. Know when you have room to push — and how far.

Episode-of-Care Estimates

See the full cost picture — not just the procedure, but facility fees, follow-up visits, and "frequently forgotten" charges that can surprise you after care.

Market Price Benchmarks

Know what's fair. See where any hospital's price falls relative to the 25th, 50th, 75th, and 90th percentiles in your region.

Pre-Care Plans & Sharing Packets

Submit a pre-care plan with visit questionnaires, procedure selection, and hospital comparison. Auto-generate a complete sharing request packet — one click to download as PDF.

Medicare Price Benchmarks

See how hospital prices compare to Medicare reimbursement rates. Know if you're paying 1.5x or 4x the Medicare rate for the same procedure.

Financial Assistance Finder

Automatically identifies nonprofit hospitals with financial assistance policies (FAP). Know your rights and get direct links to apply before your visit.

ASC Alternatives

Discover when your procedure can be done at an ambulatory surgery center for 40-60% less than hospital pricing. Smart alerts highlight savings opportunities.

Post-Care Bill Review

After care, enter your bill amounts and instantly compare against published prices. Flags overcharges, generates dispute letters, and notifies your health share.
