Enroll in a Healthsharing Plan

Healthsharing plans are affordable alternatives to traditional health insurance policies. 

Among their advantages is that with health share plans, you can present yourself as a self-pay patient, and ask for a cash discount on the entire procedure. 

Some healthcare providers offer discounts to cash payers as an incentive to pay upfront and avoid the administrative and processing costs associated with insurance payments. The amount of the discount can vary, but it is not uncommon for providers to offer discounts of 10% or more for cash payments.

Also, since healthsharing plans typically do not impose narrow provider networks, but allow you to use your health sharing plan at any provider in the United States, you have complete freedom to shop around, and get the best pricing possible.
