Vento Family Cuts Healthcare Costs by 50%

Small Business Finds Savings & Support When It Matters Most

All patient success stories

For more than a decade, this small family-run firm struggled with a traditional health insurance plan that cost $1,800 a month and came with a steep deductible. Each year, rising premiums put increasing strain on their limited budget, forcing them to consider dropping coverage entirely. With just three team members, every dollar mattered — and they needed a new approach to healthcare that provided real value without financial stress.

Their Story

The Breaking Point

For the past 10 years, our firm relied on a traditional health insurance plan that cost us $1,800 per month — complete with a sky-high deductible. Year after year, we watched premiums climb relentlessly, squeezing our tight budget and leaving us so frustrated that we seriously considered dropping coverage altogether. As a family-run business with just three team members, every dollar counted.

That’s when a close friend introduced us to ShareWELL Partners and their agent, Scott Whitesides, who was already thriving on their innovative plan. At first, we were hesitant — ShareWELL Partners’ approach felt worlds apart from the conventional insurance we’d known. But after learning more, we took the leap.

Immediate Impact

From day one, we slashed our costs by 50%, freeing up vital funds for our growing business. Over the next two years, the plan mostly covered our routine annual checkups, giving us peace of mind without the constant financial drain.

Then, Everything Changed

Alex fell severely injuring his back. In excruciating pain, he reached out to his longtime golf buddy — an orthopedic surgeon — who urged him to see a primary care doctor to get referred to him. Alex told him he was self-pay, and his friend said let’s get you in right away. As self-pay patients (or so we thought), Alex got in quickly, but the agony only intensified.

We tried everything: X-rays, pain injections, MRIs, and even an epidural. Nothing brought relief. By Friday morning, Alex was flat on the floor, unable to move, convinced the doctors might have to amputate his leg just to end the torment. Desperate, he headed straight to the ER and then the orthopedic specialist.

A Miraculous Response

What happened next was nothing short of miraculous. By 3:30 that afternoon, Scott and the ShareWELL Partners team had reviewed our situation and arranged a debit card to cover the full cost of emergency surgery scheduled for the following Monday. They even guided us through submitting all our prior invoices — from the MRIs and X-rays to the injections and epidural.

When all of these invoices were totaled, we only needed to pay an additional $49 to meet the $1,500 UA or unmet aggregate threshold. It was seamless, responsive, and far beyond what we’d ever experienced with traditional insurance.

A Transformative Journey

Our journey with ShareWELL Partners has been transformative. Not only did we achieve dramatic savings from the start, but their support during our darkest hour restored our faith in health coverage. We’re grateful, relieved, and already recommending them to every small business owner we know.

If you’re tired of rising costs and unreliable plans, ShareWELL is the game-changer you need. Thank you, Scott and team — we couldn’t be happier!
