I have been a Solidarity member in good standing since 2019. Shortly after I joined Solidarity, I realized that claims are left unpaid for an indefinite amount of time. After almost 6 years of being with Solidarity, I have come to the point that I need to leave to do what is best for my families well-being. For the past two years, I only continue to stay with Solidarity in the hopes that my 2023 medical bills will be paid. I ordered my wife to not schedule any wellness checks in 2024 due to the fact that our 2023 medical bills were still left unpaid. The reason why I did this is because if it takes many years for a claim to be paid through Solidarity, every year we incur a bill will be years longer. I will need to stay as an active member to allow my bills to be a priority for Solidarity. I have shared in previous reviews that although I am a member of good standing since 2019, I am trying to find a way out but only after my past bills are paid off. Unfortunately, I cannot jeopardize my family’s well being, both physically & financially anymore and will be leaving soon. I have asked Solidarity to pay for our 2023 bills before I exit (approximately March 1, 2025), but they could not guarantee this. I appreciate their kind, Customer Service, but the lack of answers when a bill will be paid overshadows how they treat customers. What good is kind Customer Service if you provide a product that does not provide QUALITY service. I suggest Solidarity be honest to their consumers from the get go and let them know bills can go unpaid for more than 18+ months and can also force providers to forward unpaid bills to collections. That way, consumers know the consequences of joining Solidarity. NOTE: If a Solidarity representative tries to reach me after reading this review, please make sure your have a date in mind when our 2023 unpaid bills with Solidarity will be paid,

Solidarity is very astute to hire people on the front end to "sell" their healthshare. They sell catholic values and a generalized sense you are becoming part of a family and they explain in detail the share guidelines. They also offer a share for approved non- conventional therapies which is why I joined. I believed in their mission. In the 4 years I was a member and paid $20k into the program, they have actually paid out of solidarities funds $600. This is the game.... After you meet your share out of pocket "deductible" You or the facility calls to see if the procedure is a "covered expense". If they say yes, then you have the procedure with hospital or whomever, or tests done. What Solidarity did in my case is say a $1,050 procedure is "REPRICED" to $250.00. Now they didn't pay the facility a dime. They just repriced and the balance they say is yours. Then the facility contacts me after 60 days and says you owe us $1050. I tell them my Healthshare is paying because it was approved for share. But the facility does not accept the $250 price. Then the unpaid bill, sits in your portal unpaid. And the Hospital or doctors office starts emailing, calling, and texting for payment. Then you call Solidarity and tell them you are getting calls,and when will they pay? They tell you, they WILL pay but they cannot give you a date. So now it's the 6th month mark, or more and this game continues over and over. OR, they tell you to resubmit the bills and when you do from 6 months or a year ago, the clock starts again from the beginning.. They make you feel that you have not submitted something, or there are software updates or some excuse. These workers are doing the bidding of the top management. They need to quit. They become part of the deception. These are suppose to be Catholic Christian executives but who are deceiving the people of God. What they do is a grave sin. They have ruined families credit, placed great stress on working families who are trying to live out the gospel mission and they are not only being treated unfairly, they are being defrauded. Go to another Christian Healthshare like Curo, where you write a check directly to those you help. Solidarity does not manage your funds well and keeps it, promising to pay, and do not. Although they have a new Legal Statement posted about no obligation to pay, who in their right mind with children will give monies to a company with a rouse to help share your covered expenses, and do not. Some folks credit is so bad, they cannot even buy a car. I pray for their conversion and also all those hurt by those who in authority who are not fixing this. Why aren't church leaders warning Catholics to beware. This constant apathy in appalling! Bad fruit...

This company fails to provide clear explanations, timely payments or any payments at all. If they do decide to pay it will be at a remarkable fraction of what was billed even after a self pay discount. There explanation of sharing (EOS) really explain nothing and are just very confusing to read. We have only received a $34 check for reimbursement on one bill from Feb 2023. I have far greater and older bills that have not been paid or reimbursed from October 2022. I paid that upfront. My labor and delivery bill from April 2023 has not been paid and is in collections. As a company that aligns with a Catholic viewpoint and regularly sends out newsletters of pro life actions and so on they have failed to make families be at ease financially.

We are still waiting for 2022 bills to be paid. We moved from Solidarity to due the volume of bills just being sent to collections as Solidarity refused to pay in any sort of timely matter. They now are saying we may not get our bills paid because we are “no longer members” but we were when the bills were incurred. The only reason why we moved is because they were not in good faith holding up their end of the signed agreements.

I had previously given this company a good review after the onboarding process but once we tried to use the policy it became impossible to use. I couldn’t find any providers in my area that would work with me to process my claims and the ones that did were not practitioners that I care to use. Ultimately we will use the marketplace during open enrollment and see what else is out there

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 nightmare—slow, 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 execution—particularly regarding customer service, claims processing, and collections—has 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.

We end up not joining your group because you do not offer health sharing for medical issues that someone is born with, and offer only a waiver for it, meaning if that person ever needs care for it, you won't cover it. For being Christian and pro-life, that's fairly disturbing.

Too bad there is no zero-rating option. My wife got brain cancer early 2023. Now multiple surgeries later and $150,000 in bills outstanding and not being paid by Solidarity, we spend our days worrying about her life AND the bills. Meanwhile if you don't keep paying they drop paying outstanding bills. We had an opportunity to get real insurance but was convinced Solidarity would cover it. PLUS we got approval by them to get one surgery in Mexico, then spent $60,0000 out of pocket doing that, and it appears the savings we used will not get reimbursed as promised. So, we go a triple whammy depending on this pyramid scheme. Stay away. Soooo misleading.
