Knew Health Culture: How Wellness-First Medical Cost Sharing Puts Members First

A community isn’t only defined by shared beliefs.


It’s defined by shared actions.


At Knew Health, our culture is created by our everyday actions – how we show up for our Members, and how our Members show up for each other.


We deliver a wellness-first healthcare alternative that's deeply human and distinctly transparent, designed to empower Members, reduce costs, and prioritize proactive wellness long before crisis hits.


In a healthcare system that often feels confusing, impersonal, and reactive, that difference matters.

Members Come First – Always

Healthcare should never leave you feeling alone.


That’s why we prioritize Members above everything else.

What does that look like?


  • Real people answering your questions
  • Clear guidelines with no hidden language
  • Support during both routine care and big Medical Needs
  • A Care Team that actually guides you through the process


We empower health-conscious individuals and families with flexible care options, preventive tools, and true support – never leaving you to navigate the system alone.


Because healthcare isn’t transactional, it’s relational.


And we are in the relationship business – for life.

Our Word Is Our Bond

Trust is built through consistency.


We keep our commitments to Members, partners, and each other.

That means:


  • Clear guidelines with no fine-print surprises
  • Timely, honest communication
  • Dedicated support during Medical Needs
  • Real humans helping you navigate bills and care decisions


We tell the truth, rather than leaving you in the dark, wondering what care you’ll really need or what the bill will be. 

Radical Transparency Around Costs and Eligibility

One of the biggest frustrations in the healthcare world is unclear pricing.


We operate differently.


We communicate openly about:


  • What is shareable
  • What is not shareable
  • Expected timelines
  • Contribution amounts
  • Self-pay pricing and negotiation


No half-truths.


No hidden costs.


No inflated premiums followed by confusing denials.


Transparency builds trust – and trust builds stronger outcomes.

We Focus on Proactive Care – Not Just Crises

Most healthcare systems are built around emergencies.


We believe well-care should come long before sick-care.


That’s why your Knew Health Membership is focused on wellness.


The Knew Health Membership includes:


  • 1-on-1 Health Coaching
  • 24/7 telemedicine access
  • Low and no-cost lab work 
  • Preventive screenings
  • Digital fitness and wellness sessions
  • An annual Self-Care Credit for services like chiropractic care, acupuncture, massage, fitness memberships, and more
  • Discounts on supplements and healthy products


When Members have access to wellness tools, education, and guidance, they make stronger health decisions long before a crisis hits.


We believe that prevention isn’t a luxury – it’s common sense.

How Medical Cost Sharing Works at Knew Health

Medical Cost Sharing works because the Community works.


Instead of unpredictable premiums that rise year after year, Members contribute a predictable monthly amount to the Community. 


Small, consistent contributions unlock meaningful sharing when a Member experiences a larger Medical Need.


Since opening in 2019:



  • Every eligible Medical Need has been shared
  • Medical bills have been negotiated down an average of 46%
  • Membership pricing has remained stable for over six years


Innovation and disciplined cost management have allowed us to keep Membership pricing stable for more than six years.


The Community aspect of Knew Health isn’t theoretical – it’s practical.

The Self-Pay Advantage: How to Save on Healthcare

Many people assume healthcare is expensive because it has to be.


But much of the system is inflated.


As self-pay patients, Knew Health Members often receive significant discounts immediately.

Beyond that, our team negotiates directly with providers to reduce large bill costs wherever possible.


We advocate aggressively so Members don’t overpay.


Savings aren’t accidental – they’re intentional.

We Recognize Strength, and Build On It

Every person inside Knew Health plays a role:


  • Care Team
  • Bill negotiators
  • Health Coaches
  • Member support specialists
  • Community Members


When each person operates in their strength, the entire Community benefits.Together, we create something simple, affordable, and compassionate.


Not because it sounds good – but because it works.

A Simpler, More Human Healthcare Alternative

If you’re looking for…


  • An affordable healthcare alternative
  • A Health Sharing Membership that focuses on wellness
  • A community-based alternative to rising costs
  • Support navigating medical bills
  • Wellness Services & Resources included in your Membership


Knew Health was built for you.


We’re here to make healthcare feel human again – clear, supportive, and grounded in community.


That means empowering you to take ownership of your health while knowing you’re backed by people who show up when it matters most.


Because healthcare isn’t paperwork.


It’s people.


And community is built through shared action.


If wellness, transparency, and real support matter to you, Knew Health may be worth exploring.
