The Mission

The Mission

Our Mission at Cowboy Christian is to aid in the transformation of Healthcare in America by bringing like-minded people together to pay each other's health cost and further free market principles between surgeons and our patients. It is this constant downward pressure applied on the maligned health structure of our Country that will allow a resurgence of the original physician patient relationship. Only when the physician patient relationship, highest quality and excellent outcomes is the focus will healthcare change for the better. We here at Cowboy Christian will help provide leadership thru any health event you or your family member may face.

Cowboy Christian is a for-profit technology finance company led by a Board Certified Cardiac and Thoracic Surgeon and a seasoned Technologist. We focus on enabling subscribers by leveraging the latest technology and resources to best serve you in your time of need. As an American Christian focused company, we strive to gather those individuals who believe God is our savior and this great land where we are so blessed to live has provided for our family's great opportunity and a chance to live our American dream.

American-made. American-owned. Built to serve American Christians of our Great Nation.

Free Market

We believe outcomes, service, and finance are better when free market principles are core in every fee-for-service transaction.

How It Works

Simple. Transparent.
Community-Powered.

Cowboy Christian provides a transparent, seamless, and direct, member-to-member cost-sharing community.

1. Subscribe

Choose your membership and start your monthly subscription and sharing. Pick between our 3 cowboy-themed plans as an individual or family.

2. Healthcare Event

Use bespoke resources for health facility suggestions and physician direction. Cowboy Christian resources are available throughout your event. Once an itemized bill is received, submit it for review. Once accepted, sharing is initiated.

3. Leverage Our Resources

Access our surgeon-recommended guidance, self-pay bill negotiation support, and physician and facility vetting services. Have peace of mind throughout the process.

Important: Cowboy Christian is a health cost sharing network, not insurance. It is a community of people who agree to share each other's medical costs, guided by shared values and a commitment to one another. Membership does not constitute an insurance policy. Sharing of costs between members is entirely voluntary and based on community guidelines. Sharing is not guaranteed. This is not a solicitation of insurance.

What's shareable: Catastrophic, necessary, and emergent medical needs. Vision and dental care as selected. Elective cosmetic procedures (unrelated to trauma or cancer) are not currently eligible for sharing.

Questions

Straight Answers.

The most common questions about how Cowboy Christian works.

Is Cowboy Christian insurance?
No. Cowboy Christian is a health cost sharing network, a community of members who voluntarily share each other's eligible medical costs. Membership does not constitute an insurance policy, sharing between members is voluntary, and sharing is not guaranteed. This is not a solicitation of insurance.
How does cost sharing work?
You choose a plan and contribute a monthly sharing amount plus a flat $55/month membership fee. When you have an eligible healthcare event larger than your plan's event minimum, you submit the itemized bill for review. Once accepted, sharing is initiated directly, member to member.
What medical needs are eligible for sharing?
Catastrophic, necessary, and emergent medical needs, with vision and dental care available as selected. Elective cosmetic procedures (unrelated to trauma or cancer) are not currently eligible. Full member guidelines will be published before launch, and wait list members will receive them first.
How much does membership cost?
Every plan pairs a flat $55/month membership fee with a monthly sharing amount that varies by plan, age, and family size, starting at $85/month for individuals under 44. See the full pricing table for your tier. All pricing is subject to final confirmation at enrollment.
Where does my money go?
Sharing moves directly between members. Your contribution goes toward other members' eligible healthcare events, not into an insurance premium pool. Banking services are FDIC insured.
Who can join?
Membership is open to U.S. citizens, as individuals or families. Group enrollment for small businesses, churches, and nonprofits is also planned. Join the wait list and we'll send full eligibility and enrollment details as launch approaches.
What happens after I join the wait list?
You'll get priority access at launch, founding member pricing, and community updates by email. There is no commitment or payment required to join the wait list, and you can unsubscribe anytime.
When does Cowboy Christian launch?
We're in pre-launch and forming our founding member cohort now. Wait list members will be the first to know the launch date and the first invited to enroll.
