Testimonial

Your organization is awesome! I received a heart transplant in 2001. Through 2008, my job provided affordable insurance. That changed in 2009 - the new plan had a HUGE deductible. I was at a loss as to how I was going to be able to pay for my meds and keep a roof over my head and food on the table for my daughter and me. I tried to get assistance from a few places to no avail, and then was referred to HealthWell by my doctor. The application process was simple and the response was quick. I was approved for the help I so desperately needed. A mountain of stress was lifted from my shoulders when I received the news HealthWell was going to help me.
