Streamlining Health Share Operations with Salesforce-powered Automation and Compliance
A nonprofit ministry health share organization dedicated to providing affordable healthcare solutions for individuals and families was challenged by manual, fragmented operations. Facing rapid growth and the need for scalable, compliant processes, the organization sought to automate health share requests, enhance member engagement, and ensure HIPAA adherence—all while differentiating itself from traditional insurance models through personalized, faith-based support.

The Challenge
As a nonprofit experiencing swift expansion, the organization grappled with outdated manual workflows that struggled to keep pace with increasing demand. Key hurdles included:
- Fragmented processes for managing health share requests, reliant on paper-based and disjointed systems
- Limited automation, leading to inefficiencies in stakeholder communication and member onboarding
- Challenges in reaching and engaging a broader audience amid niche market complexities
- Strict HIPAA requirements for handling personalized health information, with no streamlined authorization mechanism
- Difficulty balancing rapid scaling with secure, compliant operations unique to health sharing structures
These issues delayed service delivery, strained resources, and risked compliance gaps, ultimately impeding the organization's mission to deliver accessible care.
