Do I Qualify?

HealthWell bases eligibility on an individual’s medical, financial and insurance situation. To qualify for HealthWell’s assistance, applicants must meet the following eligibility requirements:

  • To find out if you are eligible for HealthWell’s Pediatric Assistance Fund, please contact us at (800) 675-8416 to speak with a HealthWell representative or apply online. 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.

  • To qualify for assistance from HealthWell, you must have some form of health insurance (private insurance, Medicare, Medicaid, TriCare, etc.) that covers part of the cost of your treatment. The Foundation will refer patients without prescription insurance to other programs, such as manufacturer patient assistance programs.

  • HealthWell assists individuals with incomes up to 300-500% of the Federal Poverty Level. The Foundation also considers the number in a household and cost of living in a particular city or state. If you believe you qualify for assistance, please call (800) 675-8416 to speak with a HealthWell representative.

  • If you are receiving treatment in the U.S. and have met the eligibility criteria as listed, you are ready to apply! Please note that you will be asked to provide a Social Security Number in order to create a grant. This information is gathered to eliminate duplicate applications and is kept secure and confidential.


To apply for a grant through our Pediatric Assistance Fund, you can contact a HealthWell representative at 1-800-675-8416 or apply online. We wish we could say “yes” to every family that comes to us, however, funding is limited. Families must meet HealthWell’s standard income and insurance eligibility criteria to qualify for a grant.
