Important Notice: Pay It Forward Health is a health care sharing program — it is NOT insurance. Members voluntarily share one another's eligible medical expenses. Participation is not a contract of insurance and does not guarantee that medical bills will be paid. The program is not subject to state insurance regulation and may not meet ACA / individual-mandate requirements in some states. Please review our Member Guidelines for complete details.

Individuals & Families

Affordable care for your whole household

Whether it's just you or a houseful, Pay It Forward Health brings families together to share medical costs — for a fraction of a typical insurance premium. Keep your own doctors, join any time of year, and never face a health need alone.

It's a health care sharing community, not insurance — and that difference is the whole point.

Common questions

Answers before you decide

A few of the things households ask us most. For everything else, our team is just a phone call away.

Is this health insurance?

No. Pay It Forward Health is a health care sharing community, not an insurance company, and the program is not insurance. Members voluntarily share one another's eligible medical costs.

Can I keep my own doctor?

Yes. There are no provider networks and no referrals. You are free to see the doctors and hospitals you already trust.

When can I join?

Any time of year. There is no open-enrollment window — enroll today and your sharing begins the first of next month.

What about pre-existing conditions?

Pre-existing conditions are reviewed fairly, with a clear path to sharing over time. Reach out and we will walk you through the details.
