What WeShare does

WeShare is a faith-based Christian healthcare sharing program administered by United Faith Ministries, Inc. (UHSM), a nonprofit corporation headquartered in Norfolk, Virginia. Operating under the ministry exemption rather than as a regulated insurer, it facilitates member-to-member sharing of medical expenses through monthly contributions, serving individuals, families, and seniors across 44 U.S. states (excluding AK, HI, MA, MT, ND, WA).

The platform is structured around four core programs: WeShare Essential (catastrophic-tier, from $119/month), WeShare Comprehensive (from $149/month), WeShare Premier (premium tier with no pre-existing condition waiting periods and $0 AMCS option), and WeShare Legacy (Medicare supplement for ages 65+, from $115/month). Underlying technology is an administrative processing system integrated with the PHCS PPO provider network (1.2M+ providers covering 95% of U.S. healthcare professionals), CVS Caremark pharmacy network (68,000+ locations), Amwell for 24/7 telehealth, BetterHelp for therapy, CVS MinuteClinic for retail health, and specialty discount partners (Careington Dental, Superior Vision, Amplifon Hearing, Sleepwatchers). Value-added wellness perks (Noom, Fitbod, RightNow Media, HelloFresh, Active&Fit Direct) are bundled into membership.

The revenue model is subscription-based on recurring monthly member contributions scaled by selected program, AMCS tier, age, and family size. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer through phone enrollment (800-900-8476), a guided online self-enrollment portal (enroll.weshare.org), and a community ambassador referral program; brand presence is amplified through a sports partnership with the WNBA's Indiana Fever, a podcast with Brittney Moses, and content marketing across blog and social channels. The organization is currently expanding to Indianapolis, has no venture funding, and operates as a nonprofit rather than a publicly traded entity.
