- Member responsibility
- Annual PreShare ($500 single / $1,000 couple / $1,500 family in the 2024 book) then 20% CoShare to a household cap. Pregnancy responsibility applies on Single and Couple memberships.
- Pre-existing
- 36-month lookback. Year one ineligible; $25,000 in years two and three; year four may lift the limit. High-dollar drug sharing stays ineligible for the life of the membership. Undisclosed conditions can be waived or terminated.
- Waiting periods
- First 60 days: acute illness/accident/injury only, $25,000 per member. That cap can follow the incident for the life of the membership.

- Eligible pregnancies must be prenotified. Single and Couple memberships carry an extra pregnancy responsibility; Family does not.
- Limits
- $1,000,000 per incident over the membership lifetime.
