    We are still waiting for bills from 2022 to be paid. We left the healthshare because most of our bills were being sent to collections and the promise of bills paid for maternity was not upheld in a timely manner. It was very difficult postpartum as I had to be on the phone with Solidarity for hours rather then solely focusing on my newborn.We are expecting our 4th baby and they still owe over $2,000 in bills to us and providers still. They can not give us any indication of when or if it will get paid. This money would be tremendously helpful to our family of soon to be 6, but they refuse to process our bills out and finish up what they agreed to do.

    Hello *******************, 

    We are committed to serving you as you were a Sharing Member for 2 years. Health share plans are arrangements where a group of individuals voluntarily come together to share in each other's medical expenses as to where **************** offers guaranteed coverage for a set premium. When a medical need is waiting to be shared for payment, we do not have an exact timeframe as to when each submitted medical need will match sharing dollars.

    There has been an 16-20% medical increase in healthcare cost along with the number of bills submitted by Members and Providers. Due to inflation, healthcare cost have continued to rise. To combat these increases and support efforts to facilitate monthly shares to medical bills, the monthly shares were recently adjusted in the 4th quarter of 2023. 

    Upon reviewing your account, we currently show 6 medical needs that have completed processing and are waiting there turn to match with incoming sharing dollars. Keep in mind, Per our Sharing Guidelines active Members bills are prioritized with inactive Members bills being in line after that.

    Once your medical needs match their turn to share for payment, you along with the Provider will receive a copy of the *** (Explanation of Sharing) in the mail. We appreciate your patience while your medical needs are finalized. 

    If you have any further questions or need additional assistance,please do not hesitate to contact us.
    Sincerely,
    Solidarity HealthShare

    Advertised as an alternative to the rising costs of health insurance. I paid 385 for 3 mo.s the 303 for 7 mo.s. I had a routine physical in May 2024 that I was billed ****** at this writing it is August 30th and it has not been paid. I cancelled them in July. After paying for 1 yr. I was informed because Im not an active member I am not a priority anymore to get my bill paid.

    We were member of Solidarity Healthshare for a few years as an alternative to traditional health insurance while my husband was self-employed. Initially, it seemed like a viable, cost-effective solution, with the added appeal of a community-focused, faith-based approach.However, as time went on, the service declined significantly. Claims processing times became unacceptably long, with many bills rolling over to collections. These are bills that Solidarity Healthshare should have negotiated or paid at least partially. The situation has been further exacerbated by Solidarity's use of another organization, AMPS, to handle these collections issues. Dealing with both parties to try to get anything done or simple questions answered has been a nightmareslow, unresponsive, and ineffective. This has left us in a stressful bind, with accounts I never wanted to see outstanding.If you're considering Solidarity Healthshare, I STRONGLY urge you to keep researching your options. While the concept may be appealing at first glance, the executionparticularly regarding customer service, claims processing, and collectionshas been a disaster. Be fully aware of the potential for significant delays, unresolved bills, and the stress of dealing with collections before you make your decision.

    Hi *****,We are committed to serving you as a valued past Member and desire to facilitate sharing your eligible medical bills according to our Solidarity HealthShare Sharing Guidelines. Health share plans are arrangements where a group of individuals voluntarily come together to share in each other's medical expenses as to where **************** offers guaranteed coverage for a set premium. Once a medical need is waiting to be matched with sharing dollars, we do not have an exact timeframe for the release of the batch containing a medical need due to the Member-to-Member sharing program.However, upon reviewing your account, we noticed that your membership ended on December 1, 2023. As a reminder, our Sharing Guidelines specify that only sharing Members with an active membership are eligible to have their eligible medical expenses shared.Currently, our sharing program prioritizes eligible medical needs for active sharing Members. Inactive Members are currently placed in line after active Members medical needs. Your satisfaction is a priority for us. Once your medical need has been finalized, you and your provider will receive an *** (Explanation of Sharing) by mail. For eligible medical expenses above your AUA (Annual Unshared Amount), the *** would be accompanied by a check for reimbursement or sharing.Additionally, it appears that some of your remaining bills have a Member responsibility. This means that there is an amount you owe towards your AUA (Annual Unshared Amount). If you have any questions or need further clarification, please contact our *********** team.Blessings,Solidarity HealthShare

    Run!!!! Do not sign up for this Healthshare, they contractually have not followed through with any of their obligations. Sadly, I am on a FB page "Victims of Solidarity Healthshare". That should say a lot about their company. They claim to be a Christian organization and are full of broken promises. WE had to avoid collections on bills they had for over a year and a half so we have had to pay the minimal amounts to the hospital and still nothing from Solidarity Healthshare, we have had to terminate because we paid into their services for over a year and they didn't pay our bills. They will never end up paying....one of my biggest regrets is signing up with Solidarity Healthshare, when I did they had decent reviews, since my bills went unpaid they reviews plummeted as well! I feel fortunate that I am not the victims that are over $100,000 in debt because they haven't paid. Now I'm thinking this is a ****** learned..

    Solidarity Health Share is HORRIBLE!! As I read the other reviews, i can ditto them all. The stories are the same as mine. Solidarity takes your monthly dues, but does not pay your bills. Yes, I've been down the same road many times with their famous 3 way calling to the providers, but to no avail. Yes, I've been sent to collections. And yes, i have to pay my own bills to prevent further collections. Yes, my deductible (unshared amount, as they call it) has been met, but that's as fat as they will process any of my bills. I pay my monthly *********** deductible, then they ignore me. They are getting rich while they steal from us. Very dishonest, greedy operation! How grossly sad they use a Religious theme to drawer good people in!

    They have not paid hospital bills of my sons for over a year. My bills have been sent to collections agencies. I have made multiple phone calls to them. They never give a definitive answer or timeline when they will be paid.

    Solidarity still owes me about $1200 in reimbursement that has been "batched" for over a year. So disappointed.

    Crazy how much of a scam solidarity is. Our sons hospital bill went unpaid for over 2 years. After about 30 plus phone calls and random well call you back or my manager isnt in the office excuses was insane. Was sent to collections multiple times, including our maternity bill that was left unpaid for over 2.5 years. Our AMPS representative admitted Solidarity just honestly does not have enough money to pay all of the members medical expensesmeaning we are LITERALLY the Guinea pigs who get sent out to slaughtered aka go to collections so then the prices can hopefully be lowered by the debt collection agency and MAYBE your bill will get paid. It was a living nightmare to deal with Solidarity and the amount of rude managers who blatantly lied to my husband and is faces was scary. They take advantage of good Christian people and leave em out to get fed off to the wolves of the medical world. For as long as solidarity remains in business, I will protect any family or friends I know of from ever joining this healthshare. So far Ive successfully gotten some friends to save their time and money and livelihood by leaving this scam healthshare business. Also got a personal response over a year ago from ************** stating they officially ended their advertising/affiliation with them due to all of the complaints. RUN AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY!!!
