Health care sharing simplified.

Samaritan Given members share for medical expenses that begin during membership and are symptom related. Sharing begins once your eligible medical expenses have exceeded your annual unshareable amount (AUA). After that, you pay a co-share percentage on each bill until reaching the maximum co-share amount. The co-share and annual unshareable amounts are determined by the program settings you choose. For more about what medical expenses are shared see Section VI of our Guidelines.

Medical conditions that exist prior to membership are generally not eligible for sharing. Samaritan Given shares new qualifying bills for conditions that have been treatment-free for at least 24 consecutive months while an active member. See Section VII of our Guidelines for more details.

Routine care (dental, vision, yearly wellness checks, colonoscopies, etc.) is generally not shared by Samaritan members. If a shareable condition is discovered because of a routine visit, those related medical expenses can be shared. See Section VI of the Guidelines for more information.

Samaritan Given shares maternity care expenses for Two-person or family memberships that begin at least 260 days prior to the physician-calculated due date. Medical bills are subject to the AUA and co-share up to the annual maximum amount. Maternity care sharing includes bills for prenatal care, delivery, one well-visit for mother and baby, miscarriage, congenital conditions, doulas, midwives, doctors, nurse practitioners, and other licensed medical professionals. See Section VIII of the Guidelines for more information.

Each prescription has an $20 initial unshareable amount (IUA) and a co-share of 40%; the remaining 60% is shared. The member pays the entirety of the prescription bill at time of pick up and is reimbursed by paper check. Samaritan Given members must present their Given membership card to the pharmacy to be eligible for sharing.

Prescription costs are not subject to the annual unshareable amount and do not contribute to the maximum co-share, except when incurred as an inpatient charge. See Section VI of the Guidelines for more information.

There is no maximum dollar amount for what can be shared in Samaritan Given. Eligible bills for catastrophic needs are shared in accordance with the guidelines.
