Understanding your Primary Responsibility Amount
Do I Pay my PRA upfront?
Yes and No...The PRA is the annual amount you are responsible for before medical bills will be approved for sharing. So yes, the PRA has to be paid in advance of sharing but depending on the bills incurred, you may not owe it all at one time. Read More.

What about my co-share?
Seniors do not have a co-share amount. They are simply responsible for the $1000 PRA with sharing secondary to Medicare.
Understanding Prescriptions
After your PRA (Primary Responsibility Amount) of $1,000 is met prescriptions may be shared as follows:
- For prescription costs to be eligible for Sharing, members must also have Medicare Part D as well.
- After the first $25 on generic drug prescription.
- After the first $50 on brand name prescription when a generic is unavailable.
- Prescription medications must be purchased using the member ID card.
- Members pay 100% of the (discounted) prescription amount at the pharmacy.
- Members must submit their Part D EOB (Explanation of Benefits) to Impact here. Medicare will mail your Part D EOB monthly.
Understanding when you need to request a pre-eligibility review
Not required for Impact for Seniors members.
Understanding Preventive vs Wellness Care
Preventive Screening

THE IMPACT BLOG
A FEW REMINDERS
This Welcome Guide is intended to be an easy-to-read introduction to Impact and in no way replaces, supplements, or overrides the Impact Health Sharing Guidelines. The current guidelines govern, not the guidelines in effect when you joined.
Impact Health Sharing is Secondary to Other Sources
Impact for Senior members must submit their bills and prescriptions to Medicare first, or if you have other health or welfare benefits, such as an employment-related health or welfare plan, workers’ compensation insurance, homeowner’s insurance, or fraternal benefits, the member is expected to take all reasonable steps in order to qualify for such payments and to exhaust the benefits available under those resources before submitting a request for sharing.
During the first 60 days of membership, sharing of eligible medical bills is limited to $50,000 (excluding pre-existing conditions). Discounts for prescriptions and no-cost Telehealth doctor visits start the first month of membership.
Motorized Vehicle Accidents
Treatment related to injuries received while in motor vehicles is eligible for sharing, provided all legally required and industry-recommended safety equipment was in use. Treatment related to motorcycle accidents is limited to $100,000 per incident. Sharing will be secondary to automobile insurance. Treatment resulting from the abuse of alcohol, legal drugs or federally- classified illegal drugs, is not considered medically eligible and will not be shared.
