If you incur medical costs that are eligible for sharing, you will be responsible for a portion of those costs. This amount is called your Initial Unshareable Amount (IUA).

Your IUA responsibility will occur per medical Need. Individuals will pay no more than 3 IUAs per year. Families will pay no more than 5 IUAs per year. If these limits are met, future medical Needs can be shared fully with the Community without you, as the Member, being responsible for the IUA for the remainder of your Membership year.
