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.

Fund Definition
Assistance for the treatment of psychosis in patients previously diagnosed with any one of the following neurocognitive diseases: • Alzheimer’s/ Dementia • Parkinson’s Disease • Diffuse Lewy Body Disease • Frontotemporal Lobar Degeneration • Huntington’s Disease • Prion/Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease • Traumatic Brain Injury.

Consider Premium Assistance
Under this fund, HealthWell can assist with premium costs. Medicare supplemental policies can help with cost shares related to many aspects of your health care. Using a HealthWell grant to cover premiums may be a better option than treatment-specific cost shares.
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:
-
-
This is a Medicare Access Fund. In order to qualify for assistance through this fund, you must have Medicare. The Foundation will refer patients without Medicare to other programs, such as manufacturer patient assistance programs.
-
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.
-
If you are receiving treatment in the U.S. and have met the eligibility criteria as listed, you are ready to apply! Please note that you will be asked to provide a Social Security Number in order to create a grant. This information is gathered to eliminate duplicate applications and is kept secure and confidential.
About Neurocognitive Disease with Psychosis
Psychosis can be a common co-occurrence in association with cognitive impairments from conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease, and other neurocognitive diseases, according to the American Academy of Neurology (AAN). Symptoms can include hallucinations, delusions, depression, paranoia, or manic behavior, as well as others. The impact of these symptoms extends beyond the patient, to caregivers and family members who often struggle to cope with the impact on their loved ones’ behavior and mood.
