Real protection for the what-ifs — without the premium that comes with it.

A member-owned plan built for people who are healthy, self-employed, or just done overpaying. See any provider. No networks. One deductible per incident, ever.
Member-owned, not investor-owned
DPC + Wellness + Catastrophic, bundled

01 — Sound familiar?

Does this sound like you?

You're basically healthy.
You don't need everything a traditional plan bundles in. You need a real safety net for the unexpected, priced like one.
Premiums are too expensive.
You just need something reasonable to cover the what-ifs — not a plan built to fund a shareholder's profit.
You want to retire early.
Crushing monthly premiums are the only thing standing between you and stepping away from a job you've outgrown.
Your family plan costs too much.
If your employer's family tier eats half your paycheck, there's a better way to cover the people who depend on you.
02 — The model

How Well Life ABQ works

An advanced primary care membership and coverage for the big stuff.
1
True Medical Home
Well Life ABQ is your primary care true medical home. We manage all of your routine care.
2
Wellness
Access your wellness benefits throughout the year as needed. Submit expenses online and get reimbursed.
3
What Ifs?
Break an arm? New diagnosis? You access the healthcare system normally, but state you're self-pay. Call the Cooperative right away — they negotiate rates and can even pay upfront for the bigger expenses.
Covers new diagnoses and acute events — not ongoing chronic care for pre-existing conditions.
One deductible per medical event. Break your arm on December 30th and you're not paying two deductibles just because the calendar flipped.
