Jericho Share

Jericho Share in Colorado Overview

Jericho Share is a nonprofit 501(c)(3), faith-based Health Care Sharing Ministry.

As such, Jericho Share is a community of individuals and families that agree to a common set of religious and ethical beliefs and who believe in inspiring grace and compassion.

Jericho Share in Colorado MultiPlan PHCS Care Network

You must see providers within the MultiPlan PHCS Network for all routine and preventative care visits to be shareable under the Jericho Share program.

This network includes more than one million health care providers nationwide: 920,000 practitioners, 4,800 acute care hospitals and 87,000 ancillary facilities. Thousands of them are here in Colorado.

This helps keep Colorado member costs down.

For most people in good health, and who don’t have a specific doctor requirement in mind,  this is a great feature.

It’s also a great feature if your preferred doctors and/or facilities happen to be members of the PHCS Network

The disadvantage is that Jericho Health members have less flexibility to choose their own doctors compared to most other health share plans.

Jericho Share Membership Tiers

The JHS Community in Colorado offers three basic Jericho Share tiers: ACCORD, ASCEND, and ASPIRE.

ACCORD has the lowest monthly contribution amounts of the three plans, but also the most limited package of cost-sharing benefits.

ASCEND represents a middle ground,  while ASPIRE provides more comprehensive cost-sharing protection for members.

ASCEND

Ascend’s focus is on preventative care and wellness. 

This plan tier offers you access to everyday non-emergency/non-chronic medical needs such as wellness and preventative care, including primary care physician, specialist, or urgent care visits.

You can choose a plan that includes cost sharing for 2, 4, or 6 office visits per year.

ASPIRE

Aspire offers additional cost-sharing power for hospitalizations, surgeries, maternity/childbirth, and other more significant medical events. 

Members in the top two tiers, Ascend and Aspire, are eligible for any of these optional sharing enhancements 

• VALIANT – provides additional sharing for certain critical illness diagnoses
• VALID – provides additional cost sharing for hospitalization costs
• VICTORY – provides up to $10,000 for single loss events, accidental death, or dismemberment.
• VIRTUE – Additional dental benefits. 

Optional Add-Ons for More Cost-Sharing Power

1.) VALIANT – Supercharge Your Plan for Catastrophic Medical Events

Valiant is an optional add-on for all Ascend and Aspire-tier members. If you add Valiant to either of these tiers, Jericho Share will share up to 100% of costs over and above your annual member responsibility amount for treatment for a variety of critical illnesses and events.

Examples include: 

Sharing under the Valiant option is subject to a 30-Day initial waiting period and a 6-month waiting period for pre-existing conditions. 

2.) VALID – Protect Yourself Against the High Cost of Hospitalization

Valid is another optional add-on available to Ascend- and Aspire-level members that offers additional cost-sharing power in the event of an inpatient hospital admission.

You can choose a plan that provides up to $25,000, $50,000, or $75,000 in additional sharing power.

The Valid benefit also includes inpatient hospital admissions for mental health or substance abuse treatment.

Each plan requires members to pick up the first $5,000 Member Responsibility Amount before the additional sharing benefits kick in.

This Valid benefit is limited to hospitals in the PHCS network, and subject to a 30 day initial waiting period for new members.

There’s also a 12-month waiting period on pre-existing conditions.

Note: The Valid program does not share costs for intensive care unit, critical care unit, or neonatal ICU stays. 

3.) VICTORY – Financial protection against the risk of accidental dismemberment, blindness, or paralysis

The optional Victory plan pays a lump sum in the event of the loss or amputation of a limb due to accident, loss of eyesight, loss of hearing, loss of speech and hearing, or various combinations of these losses.

You can choose a plan that pays out $1,000, $2,500, $5,000, $7,500, or $10,000.

You can use this cash to help pay for medical treatment, modify a car or van to accommodate your injury, help purchase a prosthetic or hearing aid, or for any other purpose you see fit. 

A $250 member responsibility amount applies per accident before Jericho Share will share costs. 

Telehealth/Virtual Care Benefits

MDLIVE doctors are available for telephone and video consultations 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, and 365 days per year. 

Prescription Drugs

There are four “tiers” in the ShareRx option:

ShareRx 1, which allows for up to $3,000 in additional cost-sharing for certain prescription drugs.

ShareRx 2-4. Each of these options tiers allow for unlimited sharing, but higher-tier plans include more drugs on their formularies.

In other words, low-tier plans have more exclusions than high-tier plans.

Click these links to view the formulary for each of these ShareRx option tiers: 

• ShareRx 1
• ShareRx 2-4

Note: Medication, drugs, and pharmaceuticals are included in ShareRx. You can only receive a 30-day supply per medication. There are no mail-in orders, or 90-day supplies allowed. Based on which ShareRx offering you selected, what is included in ShareRx may vary.

Paramount Rx

This is a discount plan rather than a traditional insurance plan. Members receive discounts of up to 20% on brand-name drugs, and up to 70% on generic medications.

Paramount Rx is unlimited, and members can use this benefit immediately upon their membership effective date.

This program can be useful to help pay for drugs that are excluded from their ShareRx tier formulary.

There’s also a 24-hour help desk for members who want to speak with a pharmacist about their medications. 

Monthly contributions for prescription drug benefits via Jericho Share are as low as $48.95 for an individual, or $68.95 for your whole family.

Pre-Existing Conditions

VALIANT

JHS Community’s The VALIANT program imposes a pre-existing condition waiting period of six (6) months from the member’s effective date, with a 12-month lookback period from that point. Newborns and newly-adopted children are not subject to a waiting period. 

Jericho share defines a pre-existing condition as  an  injury,  illness,  or  medical  condition  for  which  in  the  12  months  preceding a member’s effective date: (a) they have been diagnosed with, received treatment, or taken medications for; or (b) a prudent person would have sought medical advice or treatment for.

This provision is not applicable to members with a prior history of cancer or carcinoma in situ. 

No  medical  needs  will  be  considered  eligible  for  sharing  for  cancer  or  carcinoma  in  situ,  if  the  member  was  previously  diagnosed  prior  to  the  Valiant  offering  becoming  active  and  after  the  previous  diagnosis,  or  if  the  member has not gone 12 months without treatment before a new diagnosis of cancer or carcinoma in situ made. 

VALID

A 30-day waiting period applies before VALID enhancements take effect. For pre-existing conditions, a 12-month waiting period applies, starting from the membership effective date.
