Welcome to the HealthWell Foundation

The HealthWell Foundation^® is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization established in 2003 that is committed to addressing the needs of individuals with insurance who cannot afford their copayments, coinsurance, and premiums for important medical treatments. Our vision is to ensure that no patient goes without health care because they cannot afford it.

As patients are required to pay a larger share of health care costs each year, even many individuals with insurance find health care unaffordable. These patients face challenges affording the treatments they need to fight chronic and life threatening medical conditions. The HealthWell Foundation was established to address and alleviate this problem.

HealthWell Making News: Health Care Event Highlights

As one of America's largest nonprofit copayment foundations working to improve access to care for America’s underinsured, the HealthWell Foundation recently brought together a variety of key stakeholders - from business to labor, patient to provider - to address the current health care crisis at the National Press Club on September 22, 2009, in Washington, DC. The roundtable discussion, entitled "Health Care in America: What About the Underinsured?", examined the crisis of the un- and underinsured and the related challenge of reducing barriers to care.
