Do I Qualify?

HealthWell bases eligibility on an individual’s medical, financial and insurance situation. To qualify for HealthWell’s assistance, applicants must meet the following eligibility requirements:

• 1. You are Immunosuppressive and have received a solid organ transplant.

  Please make sure that HealthWell currently has a fund for your diagnosis/indication and that your medication is covered under that fund by visiting our Disease Funds listing. If we do not have a fund that currently covers your diagnosis, please check back as we frequently open and reopen programs as funding becomes available. The Foundation is able to help patients receiving treatment for indications for which we currently have an open fund. We can only assist with medications that have been prescribed to treat the disease/covered diagnosis. You will be asked to provide the Foundation with the patient’s diagnosis, which must be verified by a physician, nurse practitioner, or physician assistant’s signature. The patient must receive treatment in the United States.

• 2. You have Medicare Part B.

  This is a Medicare Access Fund. In order to qualify for premium assistance through this fund, you must have Medicare Part B. The Foundation will refer patients without Medicare to other programs, such as manufacturer patient assistance programs.

• 3. Your income falls within our guidelines.
  HealthWell assists individuals with incomes up to 300-500% of the Federal Poverty Level. The Foundation also considers the number in a household and cost of living in a particular city or state. If you believe you qualify for assistance, you may begin the application process here.
• 4. You are receiving treatment in the United States.

  If you are receiving treatment in the U.S. and have met the eligibility criteria as listed, you are ready to apply!
