How It Works...Person-To-Person Cost SharingThrough our advanced technology, you send your share directly to an assigned member’s secure, online account called ‘ShareBox.’ Multiple other members do the same and funds are allocated for that member’s bills!

Liberty HealthShare provides you with a transparent way to know who you are sharing with so you can message them with prayer, support and cheer if you choose.

When you have a medical incident, fellow members are committed to support you and share your costs.

Here is your opportunity to join a community of health-conscious Americans who practice time-tested principles Christians have been observing for decades about their healthcare. Liberty HealthShare exists specifically for everyone who either purchases healthcare for themselves and their family, or for people who want to control their own healthcare. Liberty HealthShare is not insurance. It simply unites like-minded Americans to share medical costs together.

The modern medical cost-sharing movement was developed by a small band of Christians to practically demonstrate how to ‘bear one another’s burdens.’ Liberty HealthShare is a program name of the Gospel Light Mennonite Church Medical Aid Plan, Inc. and has been operating without interruption since 1995.

Healthcare cost sharing is currently being used by thousands of families nationwide as a cooperative means of sharing medical needs. The leadership team of Liberty HealthShare was there when the movement began and has over three decades of experience. They now lend their expertise to bring the same cost-sharing methods enjoyed by thousands of families to like-minded individuals everywhere. Through Liberty HealthShare, the opportunity to share medical expenses is open to anyone who subscribes to our Shared Christian Beliefs.

Liberty HealthShare provides an easy enrollment process, a transparent, secure, on-line payment system, and a process to connect like-minded people together in a community of support.

We Examine Costs Upfront.By putting you, the self-pay patient, in charge of your care, unnecessary costs and procedures are eliminated. After all, it’s your money! You review the treatment you receive, and you approve the costs. Plus, we have a team of professionals that will advocate for you throughout your medical incident to manage your care efficiently.

We Share in Actual Costs, not Projections. We are not insurance and therefore do not engage in actuarial projections. We do nottry and predict mathematically the expected medical costs of our members. We are a non-profit and our job is to keep costs down. We share in the actual costs incurred by our members.

We Are Health ConsciousOur members live healthy lifestyles, and their costs are typically less. We emphasize spiritual principles of wellness, health and prevention. Health conscious people tend to have fewer bills, lower costs and more rapid recoveries.

What To Do Next

DISCLAIMER: This program is not an insurance company nor is it offered through an insurance company. This program does not guarantee or promise that your medical bills will be paid or assigned to others for payment. Whether anyone chooses to pay your medical bills will be totally voluntary. As such, this program should never be considered as a substitute for an insurance policy. Whether you receive any payments for medical expenses and whether or not this program continues to operate, you are always liable for any unpaid bills.

Liberty HealthShare is made up of like-minded individuals who voluntarily

share one another’s medical expenses. Our core beliefs mobilize our actions, and we

relate to one another in community because of them. We ask that each member endorse

the following Shared Christian Beliefs:

I believe that my personal rights and liberties originate from God and are bestowed on me by God, and are not

concessions granted to me by governments or men.

I believe every individual has a fundamental religious right to worship the

God of the Bible in his or her own way.

I believe it is my biblical and ethical obligation to assist my fellow man when

they are in need according to my available resources and opportunity.

I believe it is my spiritual duty to God and my ethical duty to others to maintain a

healthy lifestyle and avoid foods, behaviors or habits that produce sickness or disease to

myself or others.

I believe it is my fundamental right of conscience to direct my own healthcare in

consultation with physicians, family or other valued advisors, free from

government dictates, restraints, and oversight.

If your beliefs are in alignment with our beliefs, please contact us for details!
