What We Do

Americans don’t love our healthcare system – they tolerate it.

That’s because the system has been successful at two things:

Making money
Getting you to pay more for less.

WellNet believes healthcare has become undeniably unaffordable for companies, employees & their families.

For almost 30 years, we built cost-saving solutions at every turn – until it hit us.

This wasn’t about fixing a broken healthcare system.

Why?

It wasn’t broken.
It was operating exactly as intended by those who
designed it.

The answer was simple: use the existing framework to rebuild the most highly efficient health plans.

A solution that empowers companies to tackle their #1 negotiable operating expense.
A plan that enables insurance advisors to consistently support their clients.
A partner to lower costs, improve quality & educate employees with high-touch advocacy.

All driven by customer obsession – knowing each company has its own pace, unique culture & blueprint for savings.

We call this roadmap Crawl, Walk, Run to meet customers where they are.

Today, this is how the nation’s most successful companies influence their healthcare.
