    Current Alerts For This Business

    Pattern of Complaint:
    BBB files indicate that this business has a pattern of complaints concerning that the business is not reimbursing consumers for services paid. Consumers also state they are being sent to collections and having to pay out of pocket due to the lack of response from the business. On March 20, 2024, BBB submitted a written request to the company encouraging them to address the pattern of complaints. As of June 24, 2024, the business responded to BBB's letter outlining the pattern of complaints with their plans to eliminate the pattern by enhancing member communication strategy, including revised content and increased frequency of messaging to aid members in navigating healthcare cost-sharing, with a particular focus on education aimed at underscoring the differences between health insurance and healthcare cost-sharing (which is not insurance). BBB continues to closely monitor the complaints concerning this business and their effort to improve and reduce future customer complaints.

    Billing Issues
    Status:
    Answered
    I am writing to urgently address a series of issues encountered during our membership with Solidarity Healthshare. We are currently facing the threat of being sent to collections due to Solidaritys failure to pay medical bills, despite having met our annual unshared amount (deductible).We withdrew our membership from Solidarity on March 31, 2024, after our medical providers refused to work with Solidarity due to ongoing non-payment issues.The following details outline our two most urgent bills:June 14, 2023: My sons, **** and ***********************, underwent ear tube placement and adenoid removal with ******************** ENT at Park Place Surgical Hospital while we were members of Solidarity.June 13, 2023: We paid $2,128.72 for the pre-op appointment with ******************** ENT, covering the remainder of our annual deductible. Solidarity was responsible for the remaining surgery costs at ***********July 10, 2024: Over a year later, we received bills from ********** for $3,524.77 for ********************* and $3,523.92 for ***********************, indicating Solidaritys failure to pay for over a year.July 18, 2024: I contacted Solidarity, and they confirmed the bill was processed but could not provide a payment date. Park Place refused to hold the account due to their history of issues with Solidaritys payment failures. We were advised to pay the bill by August 9, 2024, or risk being sent to collections.July 19, 2024: In a phone call with Solidarity representative ******, I was informed that no payment date could be provided, and the advice was to let the bills go to collections with the hope of requesting a hold from collections before it impacts our credit.This prompted us to request an audit from Solidarity outlining outstanding bills. This audit has revealed a significant number of unpaid bills dating back to 2022, further highlighting the persistent issues with Solidaritys payment practices.The situation has become untenable. We urgently seek accountability from Solidarity.

    Solidarity Health Share is HORRIBLE!! As I read the other reviews, i can ditto them all. The stories are the same as mine. Solidarity takes your monthly dues, but does not pay your bills. Yes, I've been down the same road many times with their famous 3 way calling to the providers, but to no avail. Yes, I've been sent to collections. And yes, i have to pay my own bills to prevent further collections. Yes, my deductible (unshared amount, as they call it) has been met, but that's as fat as they will process any of my bills. I pay my monthly *********** deductible, then they ignore me. They are getting rich while they steal from us. Very dishonest, greedy operation! How grossly sad they use a Religious theme to drawer good people in!
