Welcome to HealthValues

HealthValues was formed to help you boldly act – and be wiser about health care spending.

That’s why HealthValues’ mission is to bring people together who seek transparency, education and want to become wiser about how they spend their health care dollars.

Those who share common values face a dilemma: How do we connect our values with our health care finances for good?  What choices do we have?  How can we find choices that best fit our personal needs while strengthening our community?

HealthValues provides a way to help you fund out-­of-­pocket health care costs that are often not covered by health plans due to high deductibles.

As a community it is our goal to connect you to valuable information, either online or with a local trusted agent, so you better understand the choices you have, so you can make the best decision for the ones you love. Working together, we can reduce what we pay out-­of-­pocket for health care while potentially improving our personal results — all the while knowing that as we become better stewards of our health, we will be able to direct more to the activities, organizations and long-term plans that match our values.

HealthValues is the brand name of association membership in Communicating for America (CA). Purchasing a membership gives individuals and families access to non-insurance membership benefits in CA and access to supplemental health insurance.
