Our Mission: To reduce financial barriers to care for underinsured patients with chronic or life-altering diseases.

The HealthWell Foundation is a leading independent non-profit dedicated to improving access to health care for America’s underinsured. When health insurance is not enough, we fill the gap by assisting with copays, premiums, deductibles and out-of-pocket expenses. In 2022, we awarded more than $896 million in grants through our Disease Funds, and since 2004 we have helped more than 822,000 patients afford essential treatments and medications. HealthWell is recognized as one of America’s most efficient charities — 100 percent of every dollar donated goes directly to patient grants and services.

We provide financial assistance to help with:

  • Prescription copays
  • Health insurance premiums, deductibles and coinsurance
  • Pediatric treatment costs
  • Travel costs
  • Behavioral health services

Our Vision: To ensure that no patient goes without health care because they cannot afford it.
