What We Do

The HealthWell Foundation provides financial assistance to eligible individuals to cover coinsurance, copayments, healthcare premiums and deductibles for certain treatments. This means that if you've been prescribed a medication and your insurer covers it, but you cannot afford the coinsurance or copayment required, we may be able to help by paying some or all of your costs associated with the medication. Also, if you are eligible for health insurance, but cannot afford the insurance premium, we may be able to help by paying some or all of the medical portion of your insurance premium.

Please keep in mind that the Foundation currently does not assist with the following expenses:

  • Coinsurance and copayments for office visits
  • Administration or infusion costs
  • Medical equipment and supplies
  • Medical transportation
  • Health insurance premium costs for the entire family
  • Deductibles that apply to treatments and services that are not eligible for the approved disease fund
  • Pharmacy compounding costs
  • Over the counter treatments
  • Treatments for side effects (e.g. nausea)

Testimonial

Your organization is awesome! I received a heart transplant in 2001. Through 2008, my job provided affordable insurance. That changed in 2009 - the new plan had a HUGE deductible. I was at a loss as to how I was going to be able to pay for my meds and keep a roof over my head and food on the table for my daughter and me. I tried to get assistance from a few places to no avail, and then was referred to HealthWell by my doctor. The application process was simple and the response was quick. I was approved for the help I so desperately needed. A mountain of stress was lifted from my shoulders when I received the news HealthWell was going to help me. Phillip, Missouri City, TX
