What We Do

The HealthWell Foundation provides financial assistance to eligible individuals to cover coinsurance, copayments, healthcare premiums and deductibles for certain treatments. This means that if you've been prescribed a medication and your insurer covers it, but you cannot afford the coinsurance or copayment required, we may be able to help by paying some or all of your costs associated with the medication. Also, if you are eligible for health insurance, but cannot afford the insurance premium, we may be able to help by paying some or all of the medical portion of your insurance premium.

Please keep in mind that the Foundation currently does not assist with the following expenses:

  • Coinsurance and copayments for office visits
  • Administration or infusion costs
  • Medical equipment and supplies
  • Medical transportation
  • Health insurance premium costs for the entire family
  • Deductibles that apply to treatments and services that are not eligible for the approved disease fund
  • Pharmacy compounding costs
  • Over the counter treatments
  • Treatments for side effects (e.g. nausea)

 

 

Testimonial

If not for the help I have received to help with my insurance premium assistance, I would not have been able to receive the medication for my rheumatoid arthritis. I genuinely do not what I would have done without the help of this foundation, since my prescription is vital for me to have mobility. My limitations and inability to pay for my medicine is also due to my husband's cardiac condition after suffering multiple strokes, and most recently costly chemo treatments for bladder cancer. We have extreme medical bills, therefore it goes beyond appreciation - HealthWell has been a lifesaver for me. The caring and efficient staff have made it a pleasant experience for me every time I have had to call with a question.
