Welcome to the HealthWell Foundation

The HealthWell Foundation^® is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization established in 2003 that is committed to addressing the needs of individuals with insurance who cannot afford their copayments, coinsurance, and premiums for important medical treatments. Our vision is to ensure that no patient goes without health care because they cannot afford it.

As patients are required to pay a larger share of health care costs each year, even many individuals with insurance find health care unaffordable. These patients face challenges affording the treatments they need to fight chronic and life-altering medical conditions. The HealthWell Foundation was established to address and help alleviate this problem.

Attention Providers: Managing your Patients with HealthWell Grants Just Got Easier!

Introducing MY PATIENTS - MY PORTAL™, designed for providers, by providers and HealthWell, this secure provider portal puts social workers, patient advocates and office personnel in the driver's seat when managing HealthWell grant recipients and payments. Use this tool to check the status of grants and payments, access pharmacy card information, build and manage your own patient portfolio and control how you view and handle data for all of your patients with HealthWell grants. MY PATIENTS - MY PORTAL™ can be accessed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Providers will need a HealthWell Account Number to get started (Please Note: the Account Number is different than a patient ID as it belongs to you - the provider). Any one of our representatives can provide this to you. Enjoy our new Portal. We built it just for you! Click here to get started.
