  • America Well

  • Based upon our shared belief that we all have a moral and spiritual obligation to care for our bodies, America Well was created so that America’s HealthShare could enroll those who have chronic conditions that are particularly responsive to lifestyle changes. These Members are able to participate in our medical cost sharing ministry while improving conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, high cholesterol, obesity, and addiction to cigarettes. America Well assists Members in making lifestyle changes that foster better health and reduce the prospect of progressive disease.

    America Well participants are assigned a health coach. The coach assists them in developing personal goals, tracking progress, and reaching their health-related goals. If a Member has been identified as having one of the below conditions at the time of enrollment, expenses related to that condition will not be shared unless they enroll in America Well. A participant fee of $80 per month is assessed in addition to the Monthly Contribution Amount while the Member demonstrates progress and until their personal goals are met.

  • Possible Conditions for Enrollment

    We show that you answered 'Yes' to at least one of the following conditions:

    • Diabetes
    • High Blood Pressure
    • High Cholestorol
    • Osteoperosis
    • Nicotine/Tobacco Use
    • Possible Obesity (height and weight calculation of a BMI result outside the recommended guidelines)

    Based on some of your answers, we have determined you may require additional Medical Review to determine your eligibility for the America Well program. Our team will reach out to if more information is needed.
