OneShare Health of Colorado, formerly known as Kingdom Healthshare, is a faith-based health share ministry organization originally founded by a group of health care professionals who were frustrated at the limitations, inflexibility, and inflated costs of traditional health insurance approaches.
OneShare Health has roots in the Anabaptist faith. But membership is open to anyone who adheres to OneShare Health’s Statement of Beliefs, which is at the bottom of this article.
OneShare Health Options
Colorado customers can choose from three major types of healthshare plans:
1. Catastrophic, which provides limited features centered around high-cost medical events;
2. Classic, which is a balanced but budget-friendly program offering a mix of emergency and routine medical costs (over an annual Individual Sharing Amount), which functions similarly to a health insurance plan’s deductible.
The Classic membership is OneShare’s most popular offering, thanks to the reasonable monthly costs, long list of shareable services, and the fact that it’s the lowest membership tier that also includes value-add protections like dental, vision, and hearing discounts.
It has three membership tiers: Basic, Enhanced, and Crown.
Monthly contributions for Colorado residents start as low as $143.90 for a self-only healthshare program, $230.90 for couples, and $331.90 for families between the age of 18-29 years old.
In each case, these monthly costs amount to just a fraction of what it would cost to purchase an Affordable Care Act-qualified health insurance policy on the Connect For Health Colorado marketplace without a government subsidy.
Healthsharing vs. Insurance
Like all health sharing plans, OneShare Health of Colorado programs are not health insurance. They are not structured or regulated as health insurance companies in Colorado. Instead, they are a much more affordable alternative to traditional health insurance that have proven themselves enormously popular among Colorado residents.
They are especially well suited for those who’ve been left out of the subsidy schemes under the Affordable Care Act, or people seeking an alternative that aligns with their beliefs and values.
Both membership types available in Colorado cap lifetime sharing eligibility at $1 million per member.
Perks of OneShare Health
Unlike most policies available on the Connect for Health Colorado marketplace website, OneShare Health’s programs do not restrict patients to any narrow care “networks” for non-emergency services.
OneShare Health of Colorado, like most healthsharing ministry organizations, believes strongly in the power of choice and empowering individuals to make medical choices for themselves and their families.
Rather than limit you to a network of lowest bidders who may or may not provide the quality of care you and your family needs, OneShare Health of Colorado lets you use your healthsharing features with any willing provider, in or out of the United States.
OneShare Health facilitates sharing of all eligible expenses at a “fair and reasonable” amount at any hospital, outpatient facility, surgery center, or clinical lab facility
If you don’t have a doctor in mind and don’t know where to turn, OneShare Health’s team has an extensive list of doctors and providers all over Colorado who have successfully treated fellow OneShare members at reasonable prices.
OneShare Health Telemedicine
All OneShare healthsharing programs members enjoy access to telehealth services for minor and routine medical issues.
The service is staffed by board-certified MDs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. All costs are 100% shareable. That means you pay nothing out of pocket.
Healthsharing programs have found that providing free or nearly free 24/7 access to a telehealth service actually substantially reduces overall costs.
Patients also find it very convenient because they can handle minor medical events quickly without needing to take time off work or travel to an in-person medical appointment.
WellCard Savings
All OneShare Health members receive a WellCard Savings card. This card enables members to receive deep discounts on all kinds of medical services and supplies from participating members.
You can use it any time. It’s free to use. There’s no additional monthly membership fee. You can even continue to use your WellCard Savings Card after you leave the program.
WellCard Savings is great for most people who don’t expect to meet their annual Individual Sharing Amount. The discounts directly reduce your out-of-pocket costs, and help keep your main OneShare Health program as affordable as possible for you and other Coloradans!
Specialist Visits
OneShare Health’s Basic and Enhanced programs do not include specialist visits. The Crown membership includes specialists, with a $75 visit fee, which functions similarly to a copay.
OneShare Health Diabetic Care
OneShare’s Diabetic Care program allows program members to save up to 75% on diabetic care supplies, such as test strips, lancets, and other testing supplies, and have them delivered directly to your home.
Mental Health Services
OneShare members have 24/7 access to a Mental Health chatbot from Clever HealthTM.
Pre-Existing Conditions
OneShare Health of Colorado defines a pre-existing condition as any illness that has been treated within the 24 months prior to joining the plan.
Not just treatment but any condition which has shown signs or symptoms in the previous 24 months or chronic conditions known to the member even if the chronic condition has not shown signs or symptoms recently.
Generally, expenses related to treating pre-existing conditions become shareable 24 months after joining the program.
However, some chronic conditions that require treatment to prevent future more expensive problems may be eligible for immediate sharing.
Waiting Periods
A 90-day waiting period applies before bills for treatments of anything other than acute illnesses, injuries, and accidents are shareable under the plan.
Immunizations are also immediately eligible and not subject to the 90 day wait (if enrolled in a program in which immunizations are eligible, i.e. not Catastrophic)
But you can still access fully shared telemedicine visits as needed to update prescriptions, get care recommendations, etc.
Surgery Waiting Periods
A 90-day waiting period from your membership effective date applies to scheduled in-patient and outpatient surgeries.
But life-saving emergency surgery costs are shareable immediately, subject to you meeting your Individual Sharing Amount.
Maternity Benefits
Maternity sharing is eligible on the Classic Crown program, but not on the lower Classic tiers or the Catastrophic program.
Diagnostic Imaging
Diagnostic imaging, such as X-rays and MRIs, is eligible for sharing.

OneShare Health FAQ’s
Can I choose my own doctor with OneShare Health in Colorado?
Yes. You can use your OneShare Health program with any doctor or provider you choose.
While many traditional health insurance programs (HMOs and PPOs) restrict you to a narrow network of authorized providers for non-emergency care, OneShare Health has no such restrictions.
OneShare Health provides cost sharing for any inpatient, outpatient, hospital, surgery center, or clinical lab facility for eligible services under your chosen program.
OneShare Health provides an online physician locator service called MyChoiceProvider. You may use the physicians listed on this directory, but you are not required to. However, if your chosen physician charges more than what our data indicates is a Fair and Reasonable Amount, you may be responsible for more cost sharing.

I’ve been a OneShare member for four year, and I’ve had to file several sharing requests for myself and my family members Each time, it’s been an incredibly easy process.
