How SimpleShare works
A $24.85/month membership for virtual care — not insurance, and not trying to be.
SimpleShare is a membership program from Altrua Ministries. For $24.85 per person each month, every member gets unlimited virtual primary care, 24/7 virtual urgent care, scheduled behavioral health sessions, and the Misio Acute Care prescription program. There are no visit fees, no health questionnaire, and no contract.
Is SimpleShare health insurance?
No. SimpleShare is not insurance. Members are self-pay patients who voluntarily share in eligible medical needs according to the applicable Membership Guidelines. It gives you direct access to doctors, counselors, and prescriptions for a flat monthly contribution. Many members pair it with a medical cost sharing membership like Altrua's GEM memberships, or use it on its own for everyday care.

About Altrua Ministries
Built by people who believe neighbors should look after neighbors.
Altrua Ministries is a faith-based health care sharing ministry, accredited A+ by the Better Business Bureau. SimpleShare carries that same member-first approach into everyday virtual care.
Founding
Altrua Ministries was founded by Robbi and Randall Sluder on a simple, faith-based conviction: that people who share values can also share the burden of one another's medical needs.
National growth
What began as a small community of like-minded members grew into memberships offered nationwide, with thousands of individuals, families, churches, and organizations relying on one another.
2017
Robbi Sluder, co-founder and the heart of the ministry's member-first culture, passed away. Her commitment to treating every member as a neighbor still shapes how Altrua operates.
2020–2021
During COVID-19, Altrua shared more than $1 million in member medical needs related to the pandemic — at a time when many families had nowhere else to turn.
Today
Under Chief Operating Officer Joshua Sluder, Altrua Ministries continues to expand what membership can include — SimpleShare brings virtual care and prescription access to anyone for $24.85 a month.
