Medical Cost Share

Everyday Care From Myriad. A Safety Net From Sedera.

Direct Primary Care covers your day-to-day health. Sedera Medical Cost Share helps with the big, unexpected expenses like hospital stays, surgeries and ER visits. Together, they're a simpler, more affordable alternative to traditional health insurance for many individuals, families and small businesses.

How It Works

What Is Medical Cost Share?

Medical cost sharing is a community of members who contribute monthly to share each other's large medical expenses. It isn't insurance. It's a transparent, member-driven way to handle big bills.

Why We Recommend Sedera

A Cost Share Built to Work With DPC

We recommend Sedera because it pairs naturally with Direct Primary Care. Your Myriad membership handles routine care, so Sedera can focus on the big events.

This combination isn't right for everyone. People with complex, high-cost ongoing medical needs may be better served by traditional insurance. We're happy to talk through your situation.

For many people, DPC plus Sedera costs less each month than a traditional insurance premium.

No Network Restrictions

See the doctors and facilities you choose, without narrow networks.

Transparent & Community-Based

Members share costs openly within the community, a more human approach than traditional coverage.

Great for Individuals, Families & Small Businesses

Whether you're self-employed, raising a family or offering benefits to a small team, this combination is worth exploring.
