Please make sure that HealthWell currently has a fund for your diagnosis/indication and that your medication is covered under that fund by visiting our Disease Funds listing. If we do not have a fund that currently covers your diagnosis, please check back as we frequently open and reopen programs as funding becomes available. The Foundation is able to help patients receiving treatment for indications for which we currently have an open fund. We can only assist with medications that have been prescribed to treat the disease/covered diagnosis. You will be asked to provide the Foundation with the patient’s diagnosis, which must be verified by a physician, nurse practitioner, or physician assistant’s signature. The patient must receive treatment in the United States.

About Inborn Metabolic or Genetic Bile Acid Deficiency
Bile acid disorders are a group of rare metabolic disorders characterized by defects in the creation of bile acids (chemical compounds found in the liver that promote the flow and excretion of bile and assist in intestinal absorption of fat and fat-soluble vitamins). Accumulation of abnormal bile acids can damage certain organ systems. If untreated, some forms of the disorder can become life-threatening.
