Medications List
Below is our HealthWell Formulary by disease fund. The HealthWell Foundation covers numerous medications that are FDA-approved. Simply select the disease fund below to see the list of approved medications we cover.
HealthWell will pay claims only for those medications on the HealthWell Formulary by disease fund. If you do not see your medication listed under the fund, it is not eligible for reimbursement at this time. Please see HealthWell’s Other Resources page for additional options, or please feel free to contact us.
(HealthWell considers high cost medications that are FDA-approved for inclusion on the HealthWell Formulary. As new drugs are FDA approved we will consider adding them to our formulary.)
