Answer 6 quick questions to see what Direct Primary Care plus health sharing could cost your household.

Buying your own plan in Asheboro, Liberty & Randolph County

Asheboro had 27,156 people at the 2020 census. It's the Randolph County seat (source). Randolph Health runs a 145-bed hospital there (source). It was sold to American Healthcare Systems after a bankruptcy auction (source).

In Liberty, Toyota opened its first battery plant in North America in November 2025: a $13.9 billion project creating more than 5,100 jobs (source). Toyota said it employed 2,500 people there in December 2025 (source). Those jobs come with benefits. Many Randolph County households still don't have them: farmers, small manufacturers, construction subcontractors, and people waiting for a new job's plan to start.

Between jobs, or waiting for benefits to start

An employer plan can make a new worker wait up to 90 days before coverage starts (source). Contractors who build and supply the megasite often get no plan at all. And many people here change jobs as new plants hire.

For a short gap, compare three things. COBRA keeps your old plan, but you pay the full cost, usually for up to 18 months (source). Losing coverage usually lets you buy a Marketplace plan right away (source). Health sharing and a virtual doctor membership can start on the first of any month.

Health sharing isn't insurance, and it phases in pre-existing conditions. If anyone in your home has an ongoing condition, COBRA or a Marketplace plan is usually safer. For a healthy household facing a few months without a plan, the alternative can cost much less.

Who it fits here, and who should stay on insurance

Usually a good fit: healthy individuals and families who buy their own plan, self-employed people, early retirees under 65, and households whose income is too high for much Marketplace help.

Usually better on insurance: anyone who qualifies for NC Medicaid, anyone with a serious ongoing condition who needs it paid for in year one, anyone planning a pregnancy in the next nine months, anyone who needs regular mental-health therapy, and anyone whose tax credit makes an ACA plan cheap.

In this area specifically: Rural roads make a doctor by phone or video practical here: most everyday problems don't need the drive into Asheboro or Greensboro.

Questions we hear from this area

Can I use Randolph Health with health sharing?

Yes. Health sharing has no provider network, so any licensed hospital works, in Asheboro, Greensboro or anywhere else. Pay as a self-pay patient up to your Initial Unshareable Amount, then submit eligible bills.

My Toyota job's benefits start in 60 days. What should I do until then?

If you're losing other coverage, check COBRA and a Marketplace special enrollment period first, especially if anyone has an ongoing condition. Health sharing can start on the first of any month, but it isn't insurance and phases in pre-existing conditions.

Is this health insurance?

No. Health care sharing and direct primary care are alternatives to insurance. Sharing is voluntary and not guaranteed, and it isn't Minimum Essential Coverage. North Carolina has no state penalty for going without insurance.

Health care sharing
Health care sharing ministries are not insurance and are not regulated as insurance. Sharing of medical expenses is voluntary and not guaranteed. Review each organization's guidelines for details, limitations, and state-specific notices.

North Carolina notice (N.C. Gen. Stat. § 58-49-12)
North Carolina law asks health care sharing organizations to give members this notice: “NOTICE: The organization facilitating the sharing of medical expenses is not an insurance company and neither its guidelines nor its plan of operation is an insurance policy. Whether anyone chooses to assist you with your medical bills will be voluntary. No other participant will be compelled by law to contribute toward your medical bills. As such, participation in the organization or a subscription to any of its documents should never be considered to be insurance. Regardless of whether you receive any payment for medical expenses or whether this organization continues to operate, you are always personally liable for the payment of your own medical bills.” Health care sharing is not Minimum Essential Coverage.

Direct primary care
Direct primary care is a membership with a primary care practice. Under N.C. Gen. Stat. § 58-3-8, a medical direct primary care agreement is not insurance and is not subject to North Carolina's insurance laws; the agreement must be in writing and must state prominently that it is not health insurance. A DPC membership does not pay for specialists, hospital care or emergencies, and it is not Minimum Essential Coverage.

Discount plans
THIS PLAN IS NOT INSURANCE and is not intended to replace health insurance. A discount plan provides discounts at participating providers and does not make payments to providers; the member pays the discounted fee. Discount plan organization: Careington International Corporation, 7400 Gaylord Parkway, Frisco, TX 75034. Discount plans are not ACA Qualified Health Plans.
