HealthWell is committed to supporting the CF Community and the established guidelines around our covered product list are meant to focus on the areas of greatest need for the majority of people living with CF. We understand there are additional areas to be addressed and, over time, it is our hope to be able to expand our coverage even further.
As an independent, non-profit organization, HealthWell works closely with many advocacy groups associated with the funds we manage, including the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. While we may seek their insight related to some aspects our CF program, the decisions are ultimately ours.
The following products have already been considered by HealthWell and, at this time, are not covered under the fund. We periodically reconsider coverage for these products; any changes to the list of covered products will be made available through our website at www.HealthWellFoundation.org.
