Wellthlinks Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
About Wellthlinks
Q: What is Wellthlinks?
A: Wellthlinks is a healthcare advisory firm specializing in the strategic design and economic sustainability of membership-based care models. We advise physicians, practices, and organizations navigating concierge medicine, direct primary care, and hybrid care structures. Our work centers on economic durability, regulatory architecture, and long-term strategic optionality rather than operational execution.
Q: How is Wellthlinks different from a traditional health insurance broker or consulting firm?
A: Unlike brokers who sell insurance or consultants who focus on implementation, Wellthlinks provides strategic advisory on care model design, economic sustainability, and regulatory compliance. We help both physician practices and employers evaluate direct care strategies through economic modeling, compliance architecture, and market analysis rather than operational execution.
Employer Solutions
Q: How can Wellthlinks save my company money?
A:Wellthlinks advises employers on direct care benefit strategies that can reduce ER utilization, lower claims costs, and improve employee retention. Our advisory work focuses on economic modeling, vendor evaluation, and compliance strategy to help you design sustainable direct care solutions with predictable costs.
Q: What size employer is the best fit for Wellthlinks solutions?
A: We primarily serve small to mid-sized employers (25–500 employees). If you’re self-funded or seeking alternatives to traditional insurance, our strategies can deliver measurable ROI.
Q: Do you replace insurance or work alongside it?
A: We don’t sell insurance. Instead, we design models that can complement existing coverage or serve as a replacement for certain traditional benefits, depending on employer needs.
Provider Solutions
Q: How does Wellthlinks support physicians and practices?
A: We provide strategic advisory services across three engagement levels: Strategic Foundation Advisory (model feasibility and economic alignment), Strategic Design & Transition Advisory (transition planning and oversight), and Ongoing Strategic Advisory Partnership (long-term governance and decision support). Our work focuses on compliance architecture (Stark, HIPAA, CPOM), economic modeling, and market positioning rather than day-to-day operations.
Q: Do you work with both concierge and DPC physicians?
A: Yes. We support concierge medicine practices and DPC models alike — helping with membership design, compliance oversight, and employer partnerships.
Q: What does onboarding with Wellthlinks look like?
A: Onboarding begins with a discovery call to understand your strategic objectives and decision timeline. From there, we recommend the appropriate advisory engagement—whether that's our Strategy Jumpstart for immediate clarity on a specific question, or one of our three ongoing advisory tiers for comprehensive strategic support.
Q: What's the difference between Wellthlinks advisory services and Vault Academy?
A: Vault Academy provides foundational education on membership-based care models for physicians in the exploration phase or early in their careers. Wellthlinks advisory services provide strategic guidance customized to your specific practice, market, and transition timeline. Many physicians complete Vault Academy courses before engaging advisory services.
Practical Information
Q: Do you provide operational support or implementation services?
A: Wellthlinks provides strategic design and fractional executive oversight, not operational execution. We design operational frameworks (SOPs, workflows, compliance systems), guide implementation strategy, and provide ongoing advisory oversight. We don't execute daily operations, manage staff directly, or act as internal team members. Think fractional COO advisory, not COO execution.
Q: How do we get started with Wellthlinks?
A: Book a discovery call to discuss your strategic needs. Employers and physicians can start with a Strategy Jumpstart session ($1,497) for focused strategic guidance or explore our ongoing advisory engagements: Strategic Foundation Advisory, Strategic Design & Transition Advisory, or Ongoing Strategic Advisory Partnership.
Q: What does pricing look like?
A: Pricing varies based on engagement type and scope. Our Strategy Jumpstart sessions are $1,497 for both physicians and employers. Ongoing advisory engagements are customized based on your strategic objectives, market complexity, and decision timeline. We'll discuss options and pricing during your discovery call.
Q: Where is Wellthlinks based, and do you serve clients outside Las Vegas?
A: We are headquartered in Las Vegas, NV, with an additional presence in Dallas, TX. We serve clients nationwide.
