Staywell Health has partnered with Zion HealthShare to offer you an affordable, community-based way to cover major medical expenses that go beyond what your primary care membership includes.
Direct primary care handles the everyday: your preventive visits, chronic care, lab work, and direct access to your provider. Healthshare steps in for the bigger, unexpected things: hospitalizations, specialist care, surgeries, and other major medical needs. Together, they offer a comprehensive and affordable approach to healthcare.
Zion HealthShare is a nonprofit, community-based alternative to traditional health insurance. Instead of paying premiums to an insurance company, members contribute a set monthly amount to a shared pool that helps cover each other's eligible medical expenses.
It is not health insurance. It's a community of people who voluntarily come together to share the financial burden of major medical needs. Zion HealthShare is open to everyone, with no religious requirements, no network restrictions, and no enrollment windows.

Access discounted prescriptions through Zion RxShare, powered by RxValet.
When you enroll, you select your IUA, the amount you're responsible for per medical need before sharing begins. Options are $1,250, $2,500, or $5,000. Think of it like a per-incident deductible. Each household is responsible for no more than three IUAs in any rolling 12-month period.
You make a monthly contribution to the community pool. These funds are used to share eligible medical expenses among members, not to pay corporate profits.
When you need care beyond what your Staywell Health membership covers, such as a specialist, hospital stay, or surgery, you present as a self-pay patient to receive cash-pay discounts, which helps keep costs low for the whole community.
You submit your eligible expenses through the Zion HealthShare member portal. Once your IUA is met and the request is determined eligible, the community shares the remaining costs, often processed in as few as five business days with proper documentation.
Zion HealthShare facilitates payment directly to your provider or reimburses you for expenses you've already paid. Your provider advocate team is available to help coordinate throughout the process.
One of the most common questions I hear from patients and prospective members is: "What do I do when something bigger comes up?" Direct primary care covers most of what most people need in a year. But life brings unexpected moments like an accident, a diagnosis, or a surgery, and having a plan matters.
I chose to partner with Zion HealthShare because their values align with mine: transparency, affordability, and putting people first. For many patients, pairing a Staywell Health membership with a Zion HealthShare plan can provide more comprehensive coverage at a fraction of the cost of traditional insurance.
This isn't something I'm required to offer. It's something I believe genuinely helps my patients feel more secure and supported in their healthcare journey.
