About Wellward
Our mission is simple: make health coverage and health care affordable for the people who shop for it themselves. That means finding you the most efficient ACA plan when that’s the answer — and giving you honest non-ACA options, like the Wellward Bridge Plan, when it isn’t. Then it means helping you pay less every time you actually use your coverage.
Health insurance is a financial product — for many families, the biggest one after the house. Yet it's sold with none of the rigor you'd expect from a financial advisor: no analysis of your exposure, no price on your protection, no concept of efficiency. We treat your plan like the financial instrument it is — Floor, Maximum Annual Exposure, and the real cost of every dollar of protection — the way an advisor would treat your portfolio.
For the first time, the truth about health plans is public: every negotiated rate, every plan filing, every enrollment record. Most of it sits unread in terabyte-scale files. We built the machinery to read it — over a billion published prices and every plan in Texas — and our job is to hand what we find to you, not keep it for ourselves. Everything we claim is published in The Evidence.
We've worked inside health plans. We know how networks get built, how rates get negotiated, and how plan designs are engineered to look richer than they are. We use that experience the way you'd want it used: on your side of the table.
The trust section
We’re paid standard commissions by insurers when you enroll — that’s how every broker works, and premiums are set by law, so it never costs you extra. Here’s what’s different: commissions play zero role in what we recommend. Some platforms curry favor with insurers by designing interfaces that steer people toward more expensive policies. We do the opposite — our entire interface is engineered to walk you down to the least expensive plan that truly protects you, including off-exchange plans and plans that pay us nothing. The Efficiency Index doesn’t know what a commission is.
The Wellward Promise
We hold ourselves to a fiduciary standard: we recommend what’s right for you, period. Same standard commission on every plan we sell — including the ones that pay us nothing. And when no plan deserves you, we’ll say so.

Founder & CEO
Reynold has worked inside many of the largest healthcare companies in the US — insurers, hospitals, and pharmaceuticals/biotech — and was a Partner at Bain & Company. He served as an advisor to the White House on the bipartisan National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform, and holds degrees from Harvard Business School and the University of Chicago.
“I decided to start Wellward after spending a year trying to be a good healthcare consumer — finding high-quality doctors and getting clear self-pay pricing, and filling prescriptions at the right pharmacy as prices change. It was incredibly difficult and time-consuming, even for someone who knows the industry inside and out. As I built the tools and data sources to do this for myself, friends, family, and former colleagues all wanted the same thing. So I built Wellward to do it for everyone.”
Our team is growing.
