Are you a patient struggling to afford the cost of medical treatments?

When health insurance is not enough, we’re here to help — with copays, premiums, deductibles and out-of-pocket expenses for supplies, supplements, surgeries and more. We offer financial assistance through a number of Disease Funds, with new funds opening every year, so you can get the care you need.

Eligibility

Find out if you’re eligible for assistance.

  • Find out whether HealthWell has a Disease Fund that covers your illness and whether your medication is an eligible treatment for that illness.

  • To qualify for assistance, you must have some form of health insurance — such as private insurance, Medicare, Medicaid or Tricare — that covers part of the cost of your treatment.

  • To be eligible for coverage, medications must be listed under the Disease Fund associated with the patient grant. Find out if your medication is covered by using the Medication Lookup tool below.

  • To determine eligibility, HealthWell considers your household income, the number in your household and the cost of living in your city or state. We assist individuals with household incomes up to 300 to 500 percent of the federal poverty level. Check your income level here.

  • HealthWell can only assist individuals who are receiving treatment in the United States.

Supported Diseases

HealthWell helps with treatment for a variety of diseases and is currently accepting applications for grants from our Open Funds. We are always expanding our programs. Please be sure to check back if your disease is not currently listed among our Open Funds or submit a request for a new Disease Fund.

How to Apply

  1. 1.

Solicitar

 

HealthWell reserves the right to change its program in its entirety or with respect to any applicant at any time with or without notice. HealthWell does not restrict the provider or pharmacy a patient selects. Patients are free to change medications, providers or pharmacies at any time. As long as the eligibility criteria continues to be met, the status of their grant will not change.

How HealthWell Grants Work

Once you’re approved for a grant from one of our Disease Funds, you receive assistance for a rolling 12 months, after which you can reapply if needed and if funding is available. Upon approval, you’ll receive both a HealthWell Pharmacy Card and a Reimbursement Request Form for times when you need it. We strive to keep the reimbursement process as simple as possible.
