Not Insurance Disclosure

Newpath Medical is not insurance.

What our voluntary cost-sharing community is, and what it isn't.

Last Updated: March 31, 2026

Newpath Medical Is Not Insurance

Newpath Medical Inc. (“Newpath Medical,” “Newpath,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) is a nonprofit organization organized to promote access to affordable healthcare, healthcare navigation, education, financial assistance, and voluntary medical cost-sharing among participants who choose to support one another.

Newpath Medical is not an insurance company. Newpath Medical does not offer, sell, issue, or administer insurance policies. Participation in Newpath Medical's cost-sharing community is voluntary and does not create a contract of insurance, a promise to pay, or a legally enforceable right to reimbursement for any medical expense.

No Guarantee of Payment

Member contributions are used to support eligible sharing requests, healthcare navigation, administrative operations, financial assistance initiatives, and other mission-related activities in accordance with Newpath Medical's governing documents, program guidelines, and applicable law.

However, no member or participant is guaranteed that any medical expense, bill, claim, service, treatment, prescription, procedure, or provider charge will be shared, reimbursed, reduced, negotiated, paid, or resolved by Newpath Medical, its members, Redirect Health, any program administrator, or any third-party partner.

Members remain personally responsible for their own medical bills and provider obligations, whether or not a sharing request is submitted, reviewed, approved, partially shared, denied, delayed, negotiated, or otherwise addressed.

Not a Substitute for Health Insurance

Newpath Medical's voluntary cost-sharing program is not a substitute for health insurance. The program does not provide minimum essential coverage under the Affordable Care Act, does not satisfy any federal or state individual health insurance mandate, and may not provide the consumer protections required of regulated health insurance products.

Some states or jurisdictions may require residents to maintain qualifying health coverage or may impose penalties, taxes, or other consequences for failing to maintain such coverage. Participants are responsible for determining whether participation in Newpath Medical satisfies their personal, family, employer, tax, or legal obligations.

No Assumption of Risk by Newpath Medical

Newpath Medical does not assume insurance risk. Newpath Medical does not pool risk as an insurer, does not guarantee benefits, does not maintain statutory insurance reserves, and does not promise payment of medical expenses in exchange for premiums.

Any amounts shared toward eligible medical expenses are shared voluntarily and subject to the applicable program guidelines, available funds, administrative procedures, eligibility criteria, and any limitations or exclusions adopted by Newpath Medical.

Program Guidelines Control

The descriptions on this website are general summaries only. Actual eligibility, sharing limits, exclusions, procedures, member responsibilities, and administrative requirements are governed by the applicable membership materials, program guidelines, financial assistance policies, agreements, and governing documents.

If there is a conflict between this website and the applicable program documents, the program documents will control, except where prohibited by law.

Third-Party Services and Partners

Newpath Medical may work with independent third-party administrators, healthcare navigation providers, cost negotiation vendors, clinics, technology providers, payment processors, consultants, and other service providers. These third parties are independent organizations and are not insurers merely because they support Newpath Medical's programs.

Newpath Medical does not guarantee the availability, quality, pricing, outcome, or medical appropriateness of any service provided by a third-party provider, administrator, clinic, healthcare professional, vendor, or partner.

No Medical Advice

Information provided by Newpath Medical, whether through this website, educational materials, navigation resources, member support, or third-party partners, is for general educational and informational purposes only. It is not medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, or a substitute for consultation with a licensed healthcare professional.

For medical emergencies, call 911 or seek immediate care from an appropriate emergency medical provider.

Charitable and Public-Benefit Mission

Newpath Medical's mission includes improving access to healthcare information, navigation resources, financial assistance, and voluntary cost-sharing support. Newpath Medical's charitable, educational, and assistance programs may be available to members of the general public, subject to applicable eligibility requirements, program resources, and governing policies.

Nothing in this disclosure limits Newpath Medical's ability to operate charitable programs, provide public educational resources, support financial assistance initiatives, or administer voluntary cost-sharing arrangements consistent with its nonprofit purposes.
