HealthWell Foundation

I want to thank Healthwell Foundation for helping when my Father had stage 4 cancer. The grant paid his out of pocket costs for his treatment/care allowing him to relax and not be focused on financial matters and focus on making each day the best it could be. The response from Healthwell was so fast. Thank you so much.

I am an end-stage breast cancer survivor. This entails very expensive drugs (currently closing in on $20,000/month) which HealthWell has helped, in coordination with my insurance, to decrease my copay to $0! I am SO grateful! It really eases your mind to know you are being taken care of by such generous and supportive people! They have an easy-to-use website as well as great phone contact people. I can't praise them enough!

I was diagnosed with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy. Had to take a new medication that cost thousand of dollars. Being a retired senior citizen, I was devastated. HealthWell Foundation picked up the cost and when a year ran out, I was picked up again. When a request for a donation to Health Well came to my email, I donated an amount that I could afford. Thank you HealthWell.

The help and assistance we received for IGA nephropathy was more than we could have imagined. The whole process was well organized and easy to navigate the application for approval. Our physician immediately understood the value of HealthWell and began to share this with other patients as well. We could not be more grateful.

For some time I was breaking bones in my feet just standing up or walking. I had tried all kinds of medicine and then I was told about Forteo by Eli Lilly. You give yourself a shot everyday for two years. My insurance covered the huge costs except for about $192 a month and I could not afford that. I was getting the medication from Biolabs, a speciality pharmacy in Altamonte Springs, Florida. They got me in touch with Healthwell Foundation and they funded all if not most of those copays. Once I started on the Forteo, I never broke anymore bones in my feet. I've been off of it for a few years and am glad to say it must still be working. Thank you Healthwell for making my life better.

I had an ischemic stroke two years ago. My blood work showed I had a high lipoprotein (a) level, a genetic cholesterol. This likely caused the stroke. I was prescribed Repatha, an injectable which cost, with my Medicare drug plan, over $1000 per month. Needless to say, I cannot afford that and was prepared for the worst. My medicare broker recommended calling Healthwell Foundation. These angels approved my application and they pay 100% of this life-saving drug. The women who took my application were the nicest, and most
sympathetic people. So patient. God bless them and Healthwell Foundation.

HealthWell has been extremely helpful with paying my expensive copays on my cancer medications.

As a heart patient my cardiologist determined that I was at risk for another heart attack because of my cholesterol levels, but I have adverse reactions to all statin drugs. He worked with my insurance company to get me approved for an injectable medication which was not a statin, but when I arrived for my first injection I found that the copay was too high for me to afford it. The workers in that group immediately contacted the HealthWell Foundation, and you gave me a grant that paid for all my copays. Thanks to you my cholesterol is now in control and I am at less risk for another heart attack. Thank you for all you have done for me and others in need of financial help.

Our family is so deeply grateful for the Healthwell Foundation! They are our lifeline. We have a child with a genetic disease that requires daily medications, treatments, and medical food. Healthwell's assistance with medications, supplements, nutrition, even insurance premiums, is of immense value to us as medical parents. Healthwell is our lifeline, ensuring we can provide everything our child needs without going into debt, worrying about how to pay for those necessities, or making difficult decisions about which prescriptions to fill.

We have several special needs children. Even though we have insurance it’s hard to cover all the medical expenses we are still responsible for. Healthwell has come alongside us for several years now. We are so grateful for their financial support!

The HealthWell Foundation has been a godsend! Medication is so expensive as well as nutritional supplements. We would be in a world of hurt without this foundation. We work and keep insurance and with the support of the HealthWell Foundation we have been able to keep our heads above water! Thank You!

This organization is a miracle sent by God! My insurance asked me to pay over $3000 within 3 months for medicine. That decided my fate until one day I got a letter from this heavenly place that I was approved for a grant possibly saving another life. I am so tickled and will always LOVE them! I will donate forever to these wonderful Angels!

HealthWell Foundation!
I am so thankful to HealthWell for my grants to cover my co pays for my Copaxone. All MS drugs are expensive and the copays are high.
Thank you HealthWell for all your help.

HealthWell Foundation lives its mission each and every day with care and compassion. They are excellent stewards of donor funds which is evidenced by their impact: Helping more than 800,000 patients throughout the U.S. afford essential treatments and medications! HealthWell Foundation is a top-rated charity in my book!

HealthWell is nothing but amazing. I work with HealthWell everyday and it is truly a blessing on what they do for patients. Helping saving the lives of many and helping patients live a little longer is wonderful.It is amazing of ho wmnay lives this foundation has touched.

I had been doing very well with my multiple myeloma treatment and a new therapy became available. It involved an intravenous injection of an antibody to the malignant cells, coupled with an oral treatment. The only problem was, the oral treatment cost over $2,000 per month.
I started calling around to see if I could find anyone to help with that cost, without much success, until I called Health Well. Right away, I was told,”Oh, we have money for that.” I was given a grant of $12,000.00 , and was able to complete my treatment.
My relationship with HealthWell has been very pleasant and I am so happy to have found them.

Healthwell is an absolutely game changer for our patients. Our patient's rely on the incredible generous funding from this foundation to make sure they can afford their medication as they navigate a complex health system and often treatment for a chronic condition. Healthwell is very efficient at making sure patients can qualify, enroll, and get approved quickly. This type of urgency goes a long way and makes them a phenomenal partner!

The HealthWell Foundation is a wonderful organization, they work towards helping thousands of patients who were unable to afford their treatments over the years. Their representatives are very prompt, supportive and always ready to help. Thank you!!!

I have had the privilege to help Pt's get copay assistance through HealthWell for many years now. Their grants have made it possible for so many Pt's to receive life saving medications that would otherwise be unaffordable. Their representatives are always willing to go the extra mile to explain with accurate knowledge what may be needed for a patient at any given time. They continue to make upgrades to their portal to allow them to stay on the leading edge of technology. It is indeed a pleasure to work with such a professional organization.

The HealthWell Foundation has been a wonderful organization to work with over the years helping thousands of our patients who were unable to afford their treatments. The team is al so helpful and goes above and beyond. Thank you!

The HealthWell Foundation has been a wonderful organization to work with over the years helping thousands of our patients who were unable to afford their treatments. The team has always been fabulous to work with and our patients received the help they needed. Thank you!!!!!

If it weren't for the HealthWell Foundation, my husband would have died from leukemia because we could not afford the medication he needed. Thanks to HealthWell, he is still alive and able to volunteer to teach how to play bridge at our local senior center and attend family gatherings.

5 Stars all the way!! We have been receiving grants for our daughter with Cystic Fibrosis for many years. We could not afford her medications without their help. Very friendly staff and professional. We absolutely love this Foundation and all they do!!! HealthWell Foundation is a true blessing for our family. ☆☆☆☆☆

Having a newborn diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis, we were devastated about the unknowns ahead of us. Thankfully, we have learned that treatment options have improved significantly in the past few years, but those treatment options are very expensive. From DME, to medications it’s a hands on an expensive disease. I’m so thankful for the assistance healthwell has provided our family to offset some of those eligible expenses!

As a healthcare worker, I appreciate the ease and professionalism of HealthWell.

Healthwell has provided my Mom with a grant for her thyroid cancer treatment that she would not have been able to afford otherwise. They have been so great and easy to work with. I will be eternally grateful for their foundation

Our child has a G-tube and her only source of nutrition is a specialty high calorie formula that is prescribed by her doctor. Her body cannot break down regular food properly and she does not take enough orally to sustain her life. Despite carrying high quality insurance, our insurance company decided to no longer cover the cost of our child's only source of nutrition. We were devastated because the cost of the formula was unsustainable. We tried store bought formula, but it caused our child to be very ill. Our doctor found us the HealthWell grant and it saved our child's life. The grant pays for her formula every month so our child can thrive. We are beyond grateful to have our child alive and well because of HealthWell. Without it I have no idea how we would have made it through. Thank you so much for saving her.

Health well makes it so I can pay for my infusions for MS. Everyone is always helpful and it’s very easy to get things going. Thank you

I can't even tell you how grateful I am that Healthwell exists. They cover the co-pays for some of my most expensive medicines. One copay is in the thousands of dollars! I would never be able to afford my meds without their assistance! Healthwell is a game changer and absolute lifesaver!

Healthwell has saved the day for me many times. Countless times where I got a referral and someone was almost out of medicine or exhausted another grant. Instead of doing pap, I spotted HW funds and enrolled in minutes. I am forever grateful.

I have adrenal insufficiency/Addision's I received a one year grant last year and nothing this year due to lack of funds for Adrenal Insufficiency. The grant I was awarded afforded me to get infusions while the grant paid for my insurance premiums. This year, I am not getting the much needed infusions, can not afford them and this heat keeps me dehydrated, I can only drink so much water. Praying the funds will be available sooner than later to help with much needed hydration. I am also not absorbing several of my medications now, this was and will be a big help. Thank you for the year I got to feeling a bit better.

I can’t thank HealthWell enough for the assistance they provide me. I have 2 grants for tier 4 & 5 medications that have very high co-pays, which the grants cover in full! And recently I was able to change one grant to health insurance premium reimbursement, which saved me even more… this has improved my situation greatly and I’m truly grateful for all that HealthWell does and I will continue to support them by paying it forward in donations, positive reviews, social media support and in any other way I can to further their good work for all who need their assistance. Thank you HealthWell!

Greetings,
I have been blessed by the HealthWell Foundation! I have high chelostral that is not controlled by eating or exercise. The medicine I has on did not help much. My Doctor wanted me to go on a new type medicine that my insurance did not cover much of the cost. I but in a request for help and HealthWell Foundation came to my rescue. I had already had open heart surgery once and sure do not want to go through that ever again! The new medicine is working great.
Thanks so much for the support!
Loving life,
Denise

We are forever grateful to HealthWell Foundation and it’s financial aid. If it wasn’t for the benefits they provide, my husband would not be able to receive his Repatha injections. Thank you again for this amazing gift and for the ease of re-enrollment!!

I used to teach students with disabilities and worked as a social service analyst prior to helping people with insurance. The high cost of insurance, premiums, and some copays are debilitating to families. I came across HealthWell and at first it seemed too good to be true. A non-profit that helped people through the sometimes difficult process of accessing funding for healthcare support. I have referred many clients and family members to HealthWell. They are always blown away by how courteous the staff is as they help them through application procedures. This is a truly excellent organization and resource for those in need.

My husband was prescribed a drug for his Multiple Myeloma for which our insurance refused to pay the co-pay, (they had previously covered, then just decided they would no longer cover it, with no reason given.) Being retired and on a fixed income, we could not pay the enormous amount required for the drug that he would have died without. The staff who helped with the process was very kind and helpful. They made the process smooth so that his therapy was not interrupted. We are, and will forever be, so grateful for their ongoing help.

HealthWell Foundation has been very helpful in helping me pay for my medications. I don’t know what I would do without them.

I had Hepatitis C for 45 years. HealthWell Foundation made it possible for me to eradicate this virus from my liver by helping me pay the deductible for the medication i needed. Now, I am Hep C free!! Such a wonderful feeling. Thank you!! God Bless the Donors and the Staff that make this possible. Also, God Bless the recipients!

Thank you for your kindness and generosity. We love this nonprofit organization they are totally dedicated to the patient. It took the fear away to apply every year . I only can highly recommend HealthWell. To be in the position were you need help, is hard enough . Thank God for their help.

Healthwell Foundation has been a gift from God. I had been facing serious hardship being on a fixed income and trying to afford my medicines but thankfully they have truly been a life saver!

I can’t say enough good things about Healthwell Foundation. They came into my life at a time right during the pandemic when I was experiencing increased health costs, less income and no idea how I was going to pay for the additional care I needed. Healthwell processed my application quickly; were very responsive, very friendly and seem to advocate for me on a very genuine level. Again, it may be repetitious but I just can’t say enough about HF. I hope this foundation continues to be funded for times to come. They are an asset to the patient community; they are an asset to the community at-large; and they definitely are an asset to the nonprofit world.

Much obliged Healthwell.

Thanks to HealthWell Foundations monetary help my life has been extended for another year and still going strong. Still fighting CLL and still able to spend day after day surrounded by my wife, 2 daughters,grandaughter and son in law. Health Well Foundation allows so many families to experience continued love and life.
Thank You So Much

My 95 year old mother, Marie Vander Griend, has been on a very expensive medication for pulmonary hypertension for several years and it has been very helpful. Medicare and her supplement pay a good portion of it but she was paying $300-400 monthly as well. The Healthwell Foundation covered that amount this past year, for which we are very grateful.

I was referred to Healthwell and they helped me and my wife by arranging for a grant to help cover the extremely high drug that I used to help with my Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis.
With out their help I could not have been able to continue with this drug that slows the process of the IPF.
Seniors like me with out the very generous help from Foundations like Healthwell would be bankrupt due to the cost of life saving/extending drugs.
Thank You!

If it weren't for Healthwell Foundation I would not be able to afford my cholesterol medicine. I can't take the pills because they give me horrific cramps all over my body. The Rapatha shots I take every two weeks are extremely expensive and have literally saved my life. Thank you Healthwell Foundation from a very grateful recipient.

My Healthwell Foundation grant covers my monthly copays for Copaxone, my MS medication.
I have been on this medication for over 20 years. There is still no generic that is exactly the same product. My quality of life remains stable which is exactly why I have fought so hard for this medication. I am now on Medicare, with limited funds. If I did not have this grant, I am not sure I could continue this medication.

Healthwell is a wonderful foundation! Through their generous grant, I have benefited from the use of an osteoporosis drug that I would never be able to afford otherwise. The application process is user friendly and my request was promptly reviewed. There was no long waiting period for a response. Healthwell Foundation is a blessing for anyone who qualifies for a grant.

Thanks to the Healthwell foundation I was able to continue the medication I so desperately needed. Without their help I would not have afforded it! I am very grateful for their help.

I am so grateful for the HealthWell Foundation. When my doctor prescribed a medication for me I was flabbergasted at the cost of the medication. I knew that I could not afford it. A good sole told about this foundation. I applied for a grant and got it! The foundation worked with me and it was easy! Thank you HealthWell Foundation!!!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Your generosity helped my wife afford her chemo! Your generosity, literally, helped save my wife's life. Words cannot express how thankful we are. God bless you all.

Talitha and Andrew Hardin.

Than you for your help with obtaining repatha which my Dr says it’s a wonder drug. It’s really great for my heart condition.Don’t know what or we’re I would be without HealthWell help really great. Thankyou

With the high cost of my medication for PAH I would not be able to afford it. This means I would go untreated. I am so grateful that HealthWell Foundation covered my co-pay and made it possible to receive my medication. Thank You.

HealthWell helps me everyday with my GCA diagnosis. They take the worry away from me questioning myself "will I be able to continue on with my prescription."

I can't thank you enough for your help.

This may sound like a cliché but it's not. HealthWell Foundation is truly a Godsend. When I was diagnosed with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis seven years ago the prognosis for this disease was 5 to 8 years of life to remain. Since I was detected early things were not that bleak however the medication that was needed to slow, not reverse, the scarring of my lung was quite expensive to say the least, as well as the copay. I applied to HealthWell and I met the qualifications and received the grant to assist with my copay and I am now heading into my eighth year of life after my diagnosis. Thank you HealthWell from the bottom of my heart, and lung

This organization has helped me live. Healtheell stepped in and provided the additional funding I needed for a extremely expensive chemotherapy drug. I don’t know what would have happened if I didn’t get this drug. In addition to the help to my body, it removed the anxiety and allowed me to relax and get through the ordeal with less stress. I cannot express my gratitude for the assistance Healthwell has provided me. I join countless others who say thank you so much.

I am a senior citizen 86 years old living on Social Security plus a little extra from an IRA. My doctor prescribed Repatha for my high cholesterol because after using statins for many years started having an effect on my legs. My Medicare Part D left a considerable co-pay for me, which I couldn’t afford. I was given the information about Healthwell Foundation, and they were gracious to give me the $2500 co-pay that was needed for the years supply. What a WONDERFUL feeling to know that there was wonderful people that cared.
Thank You from the bottom f my heart

THANK'S TO HEALTH WELL FOUNDATION. I AM ABLE TO AFFORD TO PAY & TAKE THE EXPENSIVE REPATH (CHOLESTER MEDICATION) TO CONTROL IT.

MY MOTHER HAS TO GET A SHOT CALLED PROLIA TWICE A YEAR FOR OSTEOPOROSIS. WITHOUT THE GRANT FROM THIS FOUNDATION SHE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO AFFORD IT.
HEALTHWELL REPS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN SO KIND & HELPFUL. THIS YEAR THE FUNDS WERENT AVAILABLE TO HER. BUT WE WERE TOLD TO KEEP CHECKING IN UNTIL MORE FUNDS ARE OPEN. HEALTHWELL & THEIR VOLUNTEERS HAVE BEEN A BLESSING- THANK YOU ON BEHALF OF MY MOTHER- NORMA KENNEDY

When the specialty pharmacy called to tell me that my grant with HealthWell had expired and I had an appointment the next day to get an injection I was upset because I could not afford the medication on my disability. I called HealthWell and they put my mind at ease. My grant had not expired so the employee at HealthWell got on a 3 way call with me and the specialty pharmacy and got it worked out in one call. He was so kind, courteous and professional. They have all been so easy to work with from the application process to answering any questions I might have. They never make me feel bad about asking for help. Thank you HealthWell!

Healthwell kindly provides me with assistance on my MS medication that is not covered by Medicare. They are so kind and their assistance provides me with hope and love! They make a big difference when it comes to helping people!

My wife must take several extremely expensive medications in order to stay alive. We are both retired, living mostly on social security. Healhwell has greatly reduced the burden of paying for my wife’s medications. We are so thankful!

My wife was diagnosed with ALS almost one year ago. We were shocked and saddened by this report. However, working with her Neurologist, she was started on the two drugs available to hopefully slow the progression of this disease.

The Radicava Infusion treatment is very expensive and I had no idea how we would be able to bear the cost of this treatment. It was suggested that I reach out to some Foundations to determine if we could receive any financial assistance. The first place rejected our request, and just when I was beginning to think there was no chance of getting help, I was referred to the HealthWell Foundation. The application was simple and the approval of a Grant was very quick.

Without HealthWell coming to our aid, I doubt we could be getting the treatment. A huge thank you to this great Foundation and for the wonderful work they do!!

The drug I need to use is an injectable and is expensive. My insurance will pay for some of the cost but there is a significant copay. My PCP's nurse suggested I apply for a grant from HealthWell which I did. The process was very easy via their website. For the past 2 years, I have been able to use money from Healthwell Foundation to pay the insurance copay amount. The process is very streamlined.

They send me a reminder to take my medication and test my blood sugar every day.

My story is this: Without Healthwell I would not be able to afford my MS medication, period. My out of pocket is $483.81 per month after Medicare advantage plan kicks in their portion. I am so blessed to have their help. It is so easy each year to apply for grant assistance ... and then you get that letter, it's total relief! I will be able to keep taking the Med another year, the one Med that helps to slow MS progression down. Thank you to Healthwell and all the donors of the grant foundations.

Great non-profit. My wife has multiple myeloma and the medication costs are astronomical, approximatly $15,000 a year out of pocket for just 1 of her medications with good insurance. Without Healthwell we wouldn't know what we would do to afford this. They are heaven sent and I can't thank them enough. God bless them.

HealthWell is a fantastic organization. As a young adult breast cancer patient, who couldn't afford the financial and practical costs of having cancer and also dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic, I have received support from HealthWell in paying for food and psychotherapy. Many people don't know that health insurance doesn't fully cover the cost of healthcare, especially for major medical conditions such as cancer. HealthWell helps to fill the gap between what insurance pays and what patients are able to afford.

The HealthWell Foundation was wonderful and save me from bankruptcy. I have had Systemic Lupus Erythematous since I was 17 in 1974. At that time doctor didn't have many medications to chose from. The only one that worked best for me was prednisone and I am still on it, never been off prednisone. Fifty years later the first FDA approved Lupus treatment became available. Of course, my out of pocket cost with insurance was very high for a single person living alone on Social Security Disability. My out of pocket cost was $1,098 co-pay/co-insurance for each treatment. The first two treatments were two weeks apart, then once a month. My Rheumatologist at the time in 2009 referred me to the HW Foundation. My doctor preformed the Benlysta infusion treatments in his office and they cost me $57 co-pay for each treatment and the office did all the paperwork. In 2013 his practice moved out of state. At this I found another Rheumatologist and needed to find an infusion center. This is when I had to start doing the monthly reimbursement reports, copy invoices and insurance E.O.B. reports of day and amount of service by codes. Out of office infusions in a private facility cost me more out of pocket co-pay $210, but the HealthWell Foundation paid my co-insurance $888. As of 2018 I changed my insurance and they pay my co-insurance and my co-pay remains $210 per treatment and my prednisone has been reduced to it's lowest ever at 5.5mg a day. It all could have not been done without the help of the HealthWell Foundation Benlysta Grant and I'm feeling better than ever thanks to them and the services they are able to provide to people like me with chronic health issues.

Truly a Godsend. A very wonderful and compassionate organization. Profoundly grateful.

High praise for the HealthWell Foundation. I was struggling without success to find a supplemental Medicare plan that covered my primary care physician and my neurological specialists, and covered my very expensive medications that require home infusion. All of this all had been covered by my private insurance but after I became disabled I had to switch to COBRA and pay the premiums myself. After months of trying and being unable to get confirmation from any of the prospective supplemental Medicare plans, I turned to the HealthWell Foundation based on a recommendation from the provider of one of my more expensive medications. As a result, I received a grant that allowed me to keep my private insurance and, thus, keep my current providers and my home infusion therapy in place (as well as my piece of mind).

I am a blind and disabled woman on SSDI. My osteoporosis began when I was 37 years old. Medication to preserve my bones is very expensive, and I've needed it for nearly twenty years now. Once my husband retired, it became difficult for us to cope with the copays for the Prolia I need. HealthWell Foundation has been a godsend. Not only is the application process easy, but all aspects of using my approved grant has been accessible and user friendly. This particular grant is not always available from year to year, and HealthWell has been able to recommend other grants and organizations. It's a wonderful service!!

I have a family history of heart disease coupled with high cholesterol usually beginning in the early 50’s. My doctor started me on a statin medication early wanting to get a head start, unfortunately I suffered bad side effects from every different statin that we tried. At 65 I had a 90% blockage of the LAD and had a stint placed in my heart, the doctor stressed the importance of lowering my cholesterol. I took classes for dietary help, exercised tried to do all the right things but still my cholesterol levels were too high. Then a new class of medication became available and my doctor was very anxious for me to try it, however the cost impossible for me to afford. The nurse in the lipid clinic gave me the information to contact HealthWell Foundation. They were very kind and helpful, they guided me through the qualifying process and I was accepted. I receive my medication at no cost! This is where I can’t hold back the tears of gratitude. My cholesterol levels have gone from the 230’s and 250’s to a steady level of 30, yes that’s not a type O. It’s 30!! I have zero side effects from this medication. As far as I’m concerned HealthWell has been
a life saver for me.

Thank you HealthWell

They always help me out as long as they have funds available

Health Well helped me with paying my insurance deductible for Prolia. As a retired person I came to realize that the Prolia deductible was not in my budget but the Prolia medication was helpful and necessary for stronger bones. Thanks Health Well !

without the help of healthwell foundation i would not be able to take my injections. i am on a fixed income and greatly appreciate your help financially and also the advise your employee give me.

Healthwell is absolutely amazing!! They are always there for there patients. Despite limited funding they try to help as many people as they can. Please if anyone can only donate $1, that will be one more dollar to help a patient in need.

Thank you Healthwell for all you do!

HealhWell came through for me when I was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer.
The medication I needed was over $7,000 a month!
They provided enough of a copayment to allow me life saving medicine.
The great support in customer service was another benefit.

This organization is incredible. Thanks to the Healthwell grant I’ve been able to access much needed nutritional supplements for my child. Thank you so much for all you do!

I would like to share with you how the HealthWell Foundation changed my life, but before I can do that, you have to understand what my life was like before the HealthWell Foundation entered my life.

On July 27, 2020, I woke up and I could not breathe. I could not climb a flight of stairs. After a trip to the emergency room, I was admitted to the hospital and five days later I was diagnosed with Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH). As a result of the PAH, I was in congestive heart failure and given three months to live.

There were revolutionary medicines that could combat my PAH, but these medicines came with astronomical, life-changing costs. Even as a senior citizen, now on oxygen 24 hours every day, there was no financial aid for me. I pounded the pavement. I contacted the pharmaceutical companies. I contacted the manufacturers. I could not find help, until one day my local pharmacist recommended that I reach out to the HealthWell foundation, and so I did.

I wasn’t sure if I would qualify for aid through the HealthWell Foundation, but the woman I spoke with encouraged me to just answer a few questions for her, and before I knew it I was approved for a grant that would cover the costs of my PAH medication. HealthWell would pay my pharmacy directly and I would receive the medicine I would need to combat my condition. I was so happy I cried.

Now, one year later, I am still here. With consistent access to my medication, my condition has improved tremendously, and though PAH is a life-long burden, my condition is manageable, in no small part because of the support and generosity of the HealthWell Foundation.

Every day I am so grateful for the HealthWell Foundation and the work that they do to help the underinsured. They have been so integral to my fight against this rare disease. I encourage anyone I know to donate to the HealthWell foundation, any chance I get, because HealthWell helped me get my life back on track.

A number of years ago I was being evaluated and considered for a bi-lateral lung transplant. Part of this process is getting educated about the costs associated with the required medications. These were hard lessons as it seemed I wouldn't be able to afford the costs for a couple of the medications. I felt I needed to make a choice about receiving a transplant or not based on the price of these meds. Our transplant social worker helped me contact HealthWell and apply for help. HealthWell paid for some of the most expensive medicines I had to take. This was life-saving in the truest sense and I can't thank them enough.

HealthWell foundation helped me two years in a row to be able to have the expensive Prolia injection. The application process was done easily on line. TI qualified for a grant that paid for my copay portion of the injection to treat my osteoporosis.

I have MS and don't know what I would do without the HealthWell Foundation's help. Everyone has always treated me with kindness and respect. Thank you for being there HealthWell.!!!

I am diagnosed with IPF. The meds I have to take are very expensive. I am a retired person on SS and retirement. There is no way I could afford the meds I’m on. The HealthWell organization has literally saved my life. These ppl are a godsend to me. And very sweet and concerned ppl. I thank them from the bottom of my heart

Extremely helpful in controlling today's drug costs when you are a senior citizen on social security. Excellent service when you call in with a question.

Healthwell Foundation came to my rescue when I needed them most! I have stage 4 breast cancer and am living on a small disability budget. All other grants to help me with my medical bills were claimed, but Healthwell Foundation came to my rescue and gave me a grant. I am forever grateful for their help, financial support, and adding me to patient support list. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Health well was very helpful to me. When my osteoporosis injections were costing me $1000.00+ each month- they helped me with a grant. The paperwork and pharmacy connection were made for me. My grant came off the cost of my drug each month. Thank you.

The HealthWell Foundation has literally been a life-saver for me. The medication that I am required to take to lower my LDL cholesterol level is VERY expensive. Since I am retired and on a fixed income, I could not afford to pay hundreds of dollars every month, even though I have Medicare, supplemental insurance and a prescription plan. Due to other health issues, this medication is the only one I can take for my cholesterol problem.
Certainly retired Senior Citizens should not have to worry about how they are going to pay for these medications that are ridiculously high priced. I am SO grateful to Healthwell for supporting me with these costs and allowing me the chance to take this medication that is critical for my health. I am forever indebted to them for helping me to maintain good health.

Health well foundation is a life line for me my cholesterol was extremely high and i was unable
to tolerate other statins I was advised by my physician to use REPATHA UNFORTUNATELY I
could not afford the price reached out to Health well for help they recommend that I filled
out and application and I qualified for help. My cholesterol is much lower and tolerate the
med much better. Health well is a needed foundation and I ask that all who can please keep
this foundation going.

HealthWell Foundation has been able to let me live to a close to normal life since I have been diagnosed with multiple myeloma. I am grateful for their assistance during this period of time in my life, and hopefully their assistance will prolong my life.

Healthwell has been a huge player in my ability to afford to get Ofev an orphan medicine that helps slows the rate at which my lungs alveoli (the little air bubbles in your lungs that breathe for you) are popping and dying. Working with Healthwell's team to secure a grant to cover the out of pocket cost of Ofev has been strangely enough a very pleasant experience during a difficult time of live. Their team of people have made dealing with a very stressful need to get financial support a momentarily uplifting experience that can turn around a tough day.

I am a multiple sclerosis patient who has benefited from the Healthwell Foundation by receiving a grant for my very expensive medication. It has enabled me to be able to feel as well as possible. Thanks Healthwell for helping my life be better. Nancy Beaudoin

I can honestly say Healthwell Foundation is a God-send. I am one of those people, who as my doctor described, who could eat salad for three meals a day every day and still have high cholesterol. I was told the only hope I had was a drug called Repatha. I was so happy and my doctor gave me a prescription. Even though I had medical insurance, this drug was way beyond my financial means as far as the copay would cost. It was important that I somehow get my cholesterol under control due to the fact That I have A-Fib which is a stroke causer as well as a problem called amyloyd angiopathy which can be also the cause strokes (excuse my spelling). At the time I was only 70 years old and still felt I had a lot to give to my family. I tried everywhere and then was told to try Healthwell Foundation by the company that makes Repatha. This is my second year using Healthwell to supplement my co-pay. I am so thankful to Healthwell. Thank you to all at Healthwell. My lab tests now show my cholesterol is under ccontrol. Y ipeeeeee!!!!

I have really bad osteoporosis, and my insurance company wanted a copayment of over $300.
I am on Social Security, and this was way over my budge. A call to HealthWell Foundation gave me the medicine I need with no copayment. The following year, a call again helped me. I don't know what I would have done without them.

HealthWell Foundation is literally a life saver for me. I don't know where I would turn without the assistance from them. My life would surely be more of a struggle.
My experience is that the operation is well run, with courteous and caring responses to my questions and prompt payments.

When the choice becomes yes or no as to whether I will continue this drug for the benefit of my health or not, the HealthWell Foundation steps in and make a positive difference for continuance.

Helpful staff, great service, really great foundation

With the financial assistance of the Healthwell Foundation I am able to take Prolia for Osteoporosis. The Healthwell Foundation is a superb organization financially assisting with so many different meds for so many diseases. In my communication with them I have always been treated with dignity and respect.

This Foundation is a blessing for me! Without this foundation I could not use a medication that has become a life changing event every month, Everyone that I have spoken to has a heart of gold. Healthwell has changed my life for the better and is a Godsend.

I could not have afforded to receive my Osteoporosis Rx Injections, if it hadn't been for The HealthWell Foundation. The treatment REVERSED my osteoporosis, & my bones are now stronger than before!

HealthWell Foundation has been a most helpful financial resource in my battle with Multiple Myeloma. The positiveness of all I've communicated with in the organization has been such a blessing to me in addition to helping with copays from $100 (several times) to $400 for medications I've needed throughout the process and currently for maintaining my remission status. I will always be appreciative of this organization's help in the entire process and am convinced it help me maintain a positive attitude throughout.

The medications I must take are life saving.
Due to the extravagant cost of my medications, Healthwell has made it possible through their grants to receive them. They are a "God send!"

My doctor ordered a high cholesterol medication that I could not afford. I received assistance from one organization for 2 years; the application took an hour to complete each year. I was denied the third year. I was referred to HealthWell Foundation. The application took less than a half hour; I was approved in less than a week. The second year I called to apply for a continuance and was approved immediately! The staff was exceptionally courteous, provided superb customer service. As a retired supervisor from disability case management, I can honestly say, "Bravo HealthWell Foundation!".

In the past I've had difficulty tolerating oral medications for bone density and my
osteopenia was severe. Fortunately a nurse at my doctor's office told me about the
existence of the HealthWell Foundation and the work that they do.

This is the second year they have covered all costs for my Prolia injections. I'm about to
turn 71 and Prolia has proven to be both effective and easier for me to handle.

I'm grateful for the assistance of the HealthWell Foundation and I feel sure that
many people with more serious needs must be also.

I've had the privilege of interacting with the Healthwell Foundation for the last couple of years. During this time, the Healthwell Foundation has provided financial assistance in helping me meet the rising medical costs confronting us all. Their insight, knowledge and support has been invaluable. In my opinion, the Healthwell Foundation deserves all the accolades bestowed on Leaders in the NonProfit world.

My cardiologist put me on a new drug which was fairly expensive. I was already on another expensive drug for my heart. Both together were quite burdensome financially. Someone put me in touch with Healthwell. They were very helpful. I had no trouble getting financial assistance for my new drug. They were a lifesaver. Thank you Healthwell.

Healthwell Foundation has assisted me for several years with being able to receive the Prolia injection twice a year. I am 78 yrs old, have severe osteoprorosis . Without their help my bones would be much worse. Thank you to all the doners who make this possible.

My Husband and I are both retired , with limited income. We found HealthWell and appreciate their financial help more than a few words can say. It gives us peace of mind.
Thank you very much for your help.

Mary & John

I was diagnosed in 2013 with Multiple Myeloma, so my treatment will be lifelong.
My wife’s insurance has a high deductible, so we have pay a lot of out of pocket expenses. My grant with Healthwell is such a blessing! It has helped out on our out of pocket each year I’ve had to have treatment. I am now in remission and hope to be all next year. I will apply each time I’ll need help. The financial assistance provided is immeasurable! Thank you to the HW Foundation

HealthWell Foundation is an extremely big help financially to my wife and I every month. We are retired and on a fixed income.HealthWell Foundation give you financial options to choose from that can best help you financially. They are very dependable. You can depend on their financial help every month for a year before you have to reapply for their financial help for the next year. They also are extremely helpful in helping you choose the financial option that best meets your needs. They have been a great help to us for the last three years. My wife andI greatly appreciate them.

HealthWell Foundation has been a God send to me. I live with multiple sclerosis and the medication is very expensive. I was on one medication and switched to another and HW picked up the expense for the new medication. I was thrilled!! I

I was diagnosed with MM in 2017 at age 69. I had a SCT then. Everything went well. I’m currently on a 21 day regimen of Revlimid which I’m able to tolerate. I just had a booster shot in August, with no side effects. The HW Foundation has helped me tremendously with my co-pay assistance with this very expensive drug. I try to pay back with periodic donations to this wonderful organization. Thank you Healthwell.

The HealthWell Foundation is a God-send! Their commitment to help patients with the rising costs of certain prescriptions is so helpful and beneficial. I'm not sure that I would be able to keep taking this medicine with the assistance of this foundation. The process of applying for the grant (although somewhat tedious, time-consuming, and a little confusing) is worth it when the patient receives reimbursement for the cost of the prescription. Sending them the receipts and receiving a reimbursement for money spent makes sense, but to be honest it takes them longer than expected to get the funds back to the patient.

I have been on Repatha almost a year and by Lab Test results the best thing I have ever done. No side effects. Healthwell Foundation has been a blessing of kindness. Went into the program without any problems. My only problem was not completely understanding the process. Be sure and present your card to the pharmacy where it should stay on file. I paid 6 copays that I should have not paid. They are reimbursing but the issue was strictly on me. I thank God for allowing me to improve my health.

HealthWell Foundation is a life saver for me. Thanks to the generosity of donors, I am able to afford treatment for a chronic condition. The staff are very knowledgeable and friendly and the process is easy. I don’t know what I would do without HealthWell.

I am currently receiving medication copay assistance from HealthWell Foundation. Without their help I would not be able to take my medication for my Multiple Sclerosis. They are truly a god send to people in my situation! It has been a GREAT experience dealing with this non-profit organization! We need more caring people like the people working for the HealthWell Foundation! I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND them to everyone!!!

HealthWell Foundation non-profit so graciously provided financial assistance for me in 2018. Because I have been so very nearsighted for most of my life, my eye became oblong which weakened the little veins causing leakage into the eye. I began seeing something that resembled a " heartbeat" (like one sees on a heart monitor) on all straight edge objects. After six periodic injections of Lucentis, my sight returned to normal. These injections were very expensive. The Foundation's grant to me provided coverage to pay for these injections. I am so thankful and appreciative to HealthWell!

I am a senior on a fixed income that is modest. Healthwell Foundation provided a grant for my post menopausal osteoporosis medication. Without the grant I would not have been able to afford the two $300 copayments for my two injections of Prolia this year. I am very grateful for this help. Heathwell has a very easy application process and provided information about my grant to my pharmacy.

Without funding from Healthwell Foundation I would not be able to get the medication for my Multiple Sclerosis. Wonderful organization

This organization is amazing, My copay on my chemo would have put me debt for years to come. Living on Social Security doesn't leave much left over every month.
Osceola Cancer Center helped me fill out the application and within a day all my worries were gone,
Thank You

Needed help with Prolia expense & highly be scary. So grateful to be approved.
Kaye Lovallo Coddington

I had painful reactions to less expensive drugs and could not tolerate them. My drug insurance company would not cover the drug prescribed that worked for me without a large co-pay every month. HealthWell Foundation helped cover this cost or I would not have been able to receive it. I thank them so much! Peggy Scheradella

The Healthwell foundation has been a godsent for me. When the drug manufacturer would no longer provide help with the cost of my much needed medication I felt I had no where to turn. I just thought that I would have to do without as my insurance would not cover the high cost of my medication.
Then I was told about the Healthwell foundation. After my call to them and explained my situation, they came to my rescue and said that they would cover the costs not paid by my insurance. They have been a lifesaver for me and I sincerely appreciate their help as without it I surely would been in a serious condition.
A big "Thank you" to the folks at Healthwell foundation.

A couple of years ago my cardiologist added a new medication to my regiment. It was a medicine that he had given to me to me to see if the results would be what he expected and they were. My numbers had dropped drastically, so he gave me the new prescription for Repatha it’s a bi-monthly injection. When I took the prescription to our pharmacy the shock hit. It started at $700.00 a month for 2 shots. Being on a fixed income I was devastated to say the least. The pharmacist gave me the pharmaceutical company’s number to see if I fell under their benefit program and I didn’t, but they gave me Healthwell Foundation’s number and said to try them that they’re great at helping people in my same boat. They were right I gave Healthwell a call and before I was off of the phone they had given me a grant for the Repatha covering my co-pay for the year. At the end of that year I reapplied and was granted again. Healthwell has really been a life saver helping me to be able to get the correct medicine as prescribed my doctor.
Thanks Healthwell Foundation your friend for life Bill.

I am so grateful to the Healthwell Foundation. They have granted me funds to pay for my Esbereit medication for my Pulmonary Fibrosis for a very long time. If they had not, I wouldn't have been able to have it. The medication has prolonged my life. This foundation has renewed my faith in humanity. Thank you so much, Harry Bowen, Ferndale, WA.

HealthWell Foundation has literally been a lifesaver for me. The Foundation’s generosity has allowed me access to my much needed medication.
I watched my mother pass away at age 70 with contributing factors from the same condition I have, but this medication was not available to her. I am 68 and I believe I have a “lease on life” because I am able to use this medicine to battle my condition.
When I was first introduced to the Rx by my specialist, and was told by the pharmacist how costly it was, and was denied any coverage (at that time) by the insurance company, my heart sank. I felt hopeless. How on earth would I be able to afford the medicine that I so badly needed?
I have a husband of 48 years, 2 married sons, and 3 granddaughters. I knew that they were the driving force in reaching out and seeking assistance for payment.
This Foundation is remarkable and I am very grateful to it for the gift that they offer me to help me meet my needs.
Heartfelt thanks to all of the contributors who make it available to people who require some assistance. I speak for myself and perhaps for those who cannot, the sincerest thanks and gratitude to all.
Kathleen Jesik

So very much appreciative to the Healthwell Foundation on helping our family during this troubled time. I have stage 4 prostate , metastatic bone cancer and when my wife sees all the help they give us for all of our medical co-pays for my medication, at times she cries in happiness for the help. Thank you very much William Klann

I was diagnosed with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis a couple of years ago. No cure and very short life span. I found Healthwell Foundation through my pharmacy. They have been a Godsend. The cost is more than I can imagine for the medicine. Without Healthwell, I would have died. I can't thank them enough. They have made my life much easier.

Healthwell Foundation has helped me with my co-pay for a very high priced medication for my MS. Without their help I would not have been able to take this drug and I don't know what I would do. I sincerely appreciate the generosity of all those who support this wonderful organization. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

I truly am thankful for the grant I have with Healthwell Foundation for Multiple Sclerosis. It's so important to me to be able to have some financial relief when dealing with MS and it's challenging effects both relating to what the disease is doing to my phyiscal and mental health, and also to my financial situation. I can't thank Healthwell Foundation enough for all they do, and their customer service is top notch and I was in the support industry for over 30 years before my not being able to work due to my MS disabilities. Healthwell Foundation is FANTASTIC. Please give to this important foundation.

I have had a grant from the HealthWell Foundation for almost 2 years. I went through over 100 chemo treatments plus a stem cell transplant over 2.5 years and I am now in remission. I am on a maintenance program where I take a daily chemo pill and my co-pay is excessive, so much so that without the grant from HealthWell, I would not be in a financial position to afford the medication. I have been told that without the medication it is highly likely that I may need to resume the chemo IV's and possibly another stem cell transplant. I am thankful and grateful to HealthWell for giving me the opportunity to continue my maintenance treatment.

I have to take three medicines for my high cholestrol and is really expensive. The drug compay Amgen paid for this prescription for me for two years but this year they discontinued the program. So I applied to Healthwell Foundation and they have been covering the expense this year and it is a big help financially.

I was very fortunate to receive a grant from HealthWell Foundation to assist me, as I age, with my cholesterol management. I had an emergency situation due to the side effects from an increased dosage of a statin medication. My doctor prescribed a new approach to cholesterol management that required two medications.
I was referred to HealthWell Foundation for a study they were doing with this new approach. They were very approachable and easy to talk to. They counseled me and accepted me into their program. They are the epitome of professionalism.

My results have been very good for several months.

My mother was going through breast cancer and needed assistance. The HealthWell Foundation grant helped us tremendously during a very difficult time and we will be forever grateful for the help we received. We now donate to the HealthWell Foundatiion as we know how vital of a resource it can be when people are in need.

HWF has been an enormous help for me in my continous fight againstcancer
whiout them I would probably not be there to write this comment.
Thanks HWF.

My doctor prescribed a medication to lower pulmonary artery pressure that cost over $1,000.00 per month. We could not afford this medicine, but HealthWell Foundation made it possible to receive it through a grant. Their process was quick and approval came within minutes. What a blessing HealthWell Foundation has been.

Several years ago during the recession I was prescribed Advair. It is an asthma COPD medicine. It was not covered by my Insurance and I couldn't afford it. I was sick and my husband took a cut in pay so that the company that he worked for wouldn't have to close. My pharmacist told me about Healthwell Foundation and I got my medicine for free for over a year (cost would have been $200. a month).
When my finances improved I stopped getting it and got better insurance. New through Amazon I donate so that someone else that may be in a bad place financially can get medicine that would otherwise be unattainable.
It was easy to apply and I was so happy and blessed to get my medicine.

HealthWell was there when I needed help with an expensive medication. Appreciate their help!!

Healthwell foundation makes it possible for me to get my expensive medication. I had openheart surgery in 2017 and without their help I may not be a vibrant active senior. Their staff is so kind and they make is so easy for my pharmacy to access my financial assistance. Thank you Healhwell!!

Initally I thought I would have to 'jump through hoops', like so many other offers that seem to good to be true. I was wrong ,that was not the case with HealthWell Foundation! I am now convinced that there goal is to genuinely help people. What a refreshing change from the norm. We often tell friends and family about your compassion and encorage them to reach out to HealthWell. Again thank you from our heart.

The HealthWell Foundation has been helping me to acquire medication that I need for my Rheumatoid Arthritis that I could not have received with the donations.

I both was a recipient of the kindness of Heathwell and have since supported their mission with donations. I needed funding for medicine for my MS after I went on Medicare. Healthwell reduced the stress of paying for medicine that I believe kept me at work as a teacher not needing a single sick day. Their process was clear and simple. The staff is friendly, empathetic and professional.

Thank you to Healthwell Foundation for helping me with my Prolia shots. This is a wonderful organization. The people you deal with on the phone are so respectful and helpful and if you ever have a problem they are right there to help. I highly recommend you calling them if you are need of financial assistance. And always remember to make a donation to this organization.

Don't know what I would do without HealthWells help.

Many thanks for the grant that I received to help pay for extremely expensive medicine. I would have had to dig deep to afford it. The people at the foundation are so easy to work with. They were kind and helpful always. I have recommended Healthwell Foundation to a few friends who would benefit from their help.

I WAS IN NEED OF HELP FOR MY ASTHMA MEDICATION. WHEN I WAS REFERED TO THIS GROUP, I WAS SCHOCKED THAT I WAS ABLE TO GET HELP. I CAN'T THANK THEM ENOUGH FOR THE HELP THROUGH MY DIFFICULT TIME.

I was introduced to Health Well three years ago when I was referred by my Primary M.D. for Prolia Injections for Osteoporosis. The injections are expensive and my health insurance only covered a portion of it. My Health Care provider's office recommended contacting Health Well to cover the remaining cost with a Grant. I did that immediately and my injections have been covered with a renewing grant annually.
Health Well, provides grants for many conditions, research is their focus and the assistance is so helpful to their patients!
I'm forever grateful I was referred to their Program.

It's very difficult to be diagnosed with a serious illness, but to also find out that the medication to treat the disease is astronomically expensive can really take a toll on your already fragile psyche.
I have the utmost gratitude to the HealthWell Foundation for being able to help me financially when the pharmaceutical company that manufactured the drug would not.
Everyone that I have spoken to at the HealthWell Foundation has been so kind and caring, especially when it comes to filling out the paperwork.
Thank you, HealthWell Foundation, for being there when I needed you the most!
Gratefully, Lynn Blanton

I can not praise and thank Healthwell Foundation enough. My experience with them was top notch!! Always helpful and courteous and always felt respected. I will never forget the support and generosity they gave to me.

Thank you!!

I was referred to the HealthWell Foundation when the drug’s manufacturer determined that I no longer qualified for their support program after two years with them.

I qualified for the HealthWell Foundations grant program and have been happy and extremely satisfied with their program. I’m very grateful for their assistance with helping me with the cost of a very expensive medicine that works for me.

The online Patient Portal is a great way to manage your grant or get assistance with issues.

Thank You for your assistance with this medication. I look forward to another year with HealthWell!

Bradford Marks

Healthwell Foundation helped me get a very expensive medication that I would not have been able to obtain without their assistance. They are a very kind and professional group of people!

I have esophageal cancer with a metastasis to the bone. The shot necessary to treat the bone cancer used in conjunction with the regular chemo drugs had a high copay. I'm on a fixed income and the copay would have been a real hardship on me. The HealthWell Foundation was right there to provide assistance and paid my copay. The medicine helped stabilize my bone metastatic cancer. The financial assistance was a great relief for me. Ever vigilant, they also provided financial assistance the next year. Any questions I had for them were quickly answered compassionately and efficiently. There is no doubt this foundation provides a great public service.

I am so grateful for Healthwell Foundation because without it I would never be able to receive my Prolia injections that keep me safe from bone fractures. At 78 years old, it helps me stay well and active. THANK YOU HEALTHWELL more than you realize.

Linda Johnson

I am retired, and on a fixed income. I would not be able afford the medication without the assistance from the HealthWell Foundation. They have been a Godsend for me and my family.

When I first found out that I had cancer in February, 2019, I was devastated. I was currently going to M. D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, TX with my late husband, who died from complications of Stage IV lung cancer on March 20, 2020. I was extremely pleased to discover HealthWell Foundation and that they would supplement my insurance for one of the medications, which is a crucial part of my treatment. The process was fast and efficient. The staff members were kind, caring and professional. I sincerely appreciate the assistance, which I have received from this Foundation and highly recommend them to anyone who requires assistance to pay for their medication.

Thanks to HealthWell Foundation, I am able to get my expensive medication that my cardiologist said was necessary for me to take in order to live. If it wasn't for HealthWells help and kindness, I probably wouldn't be able to write this today, Thanks to all the wonderful, kind folks who help in every way!

The medication for gout is very expensive and my insurance left me with co-pays beyond my ability to pay. The Humana pharmacist recommended Healthwell Foundation to me. I contacted them and was approved for their Gout Grant. This was a real life-saver. For anyone who has ever suffered from this terrible health condition, you know that the pain is crippling and all consuming. Thank you for keeping me active so that I can maneuver through life.

Health well Foundation help save my husband life they were there in a time of need to help pay for his treatment, we are on a fix income and would not have been able to pay for his Lupin shots. I would recommend them to anyone that is going Protate Cancer they are there to help you. I thank them for their service and appreciate what they are doing for us.

I needed a resource to help me cover my out of pocket expenses for my M.S. medication. Healthwell was very helpful in finding me a grant . I am very grateful.

I have several autoimmune issues. I get an injection every 4 weeks of Xolair. This is for my Chronic Ideopathic Urticaria (hives of unknown origin). I would break out all over, but my worst areas were my scalp, chest, and bottom of my feet. This medicine is really expensive and there is no way I could afford the copay if it wasn't for the grant I get from The Healthwell Foundation!! They directly pay my specialty pharmacy, so I don't have to worry about a thing, except ordering my med! Xolair even helps my asthma stay at bay! I don't think I've had to use a rescue inhaler for a couple years! I thank God every day for this medicine and the Health well Foundation!!

Being a low income Senior Citizen, the Healthwell Foundations Grant has been a Godsend to me for over two years. I thank all doners who care enough to help us who are in need.

I was about to lose my health insurance and the most important of my medications (of course the most expensive). I have many chronic health conditions, some terminal, ranging from Heart Failure, Pulmonary Hypertension, Post Polio with 50% lung capacity, Diabetes with Diabetic Retinopathy, COPD, Hypercholesteremia, Glaucoma, Macular Degeneration. That’s a lot of medical issues to be without health insurance and medication. But that is the situation I was faced with when I stumbled upon the HealthWell Foundation in an Internet search. I was searching options to keep my insurance and medications but didn’t quite qualify for any state or local programs. I was caught between a rock and hard place, making just enough not to qualify and far from enough to buy more than food, shelter, and necessities. Healthcare costs have become unaffordable to everyday people like myself, especially retired people who are unable to keep on working. That’s where charities like HealthWell Foundation are a Godsend! I know it was God who led me to their information that night searching the Internet. Thank you for being there for people like myself!

Healthwell Foundation helped me pay for a medication that restored my quality of life and allowed me to resume everyday activities. The monthly cost for the prescription that keeps my CIU (chronic idiopathic urticaria) under control is very high and if not for Healthwell it would be a hard decision between paying for the medication and having the condition flare up again. Thank you, Healthwell Foundation.

HealthWell Foundation is saving lives. I became very ill and couldn't work, HealthWell paid my insurance premium and I was able to get the care I needed. Thanks to them, I was able to go back to work and be self-sufficient. When the fund closed, I couldn't afford coverage and became very ill again because I had to do without treatment. This organization is wonderful and they are saving and improving the quality of life for many people. I urge you to support them and assure you that they do exactly what they claim, and with great compassion for those they serve.

Excellent foundation I have the experience of working with over the years. Do to the the requirement of high cost drug required for my health. I don't know how I could afford the cost of this drug. The cost is so high even on medicare.The foundation is a blessing to me and I could not afford it on my owe.

A life-saver for me. Grant funding for Prolia. Ever Thankful.

I am beyond grateful to the Healthwell Foundation for helping me with my twice yearly Prolia shots. I am retired and on medicare and their assistance is greatly appreciated!

I found HealthWell by accident and it was the best thing at the time for my needs. I was able to receive the financial assistance I needed to get well again. I will be forever truly grateful. A great foundation with helpful people that truly care.

I’m a retired Registered Nurse with 35 years of experience. I became disabled at age 55. My medication costs were outrageous. Then, I had a fall in my home. I had Home Health services for a year because of wounds from that fall. Your organization has been a blessing. The money I receive from you allows me to purchase the medications I need. The people I’ve interacted with from the organization are very professional and kind. I’m very grateful for Healtherll.

The foundation significantly help us a lot in regard to our premium reimbursement, to give us financial budget to our day to day living due to our very limited income. The people we have spoken at the foundation are very helpful and understand our concern and needs and the is why we appreciate them very much. Our overall experience is, we are extremely satisfied way above expectations. Thank you very very much, Healthwell Foundation.

They are a great!! The people are so nice to talk and are helpful!!

In 2019, I was diagnosed with Lobular breast cancer which had also metastasized to my lymph nodes. After my radical mastectomy and lymph node removal, it was time for chemo. I had no idea of the cost after my insurance had paid their part. My daughter and husband helped me apply for their financial assistance and was accepted. I could have NEVER been able to afford the copay I was to pay without their help! Now, 2 years later, I just found out last week the cancer has metastasized 5 areas on my spine and 2 areas on iliac bone, So I find myself having to ask for assistance again. I am on a waiting list but am praying for a couple of miracles...Healthwell is a wonderful organization and I can not ever thank them enough. Its hard enough getting the news "you have cancer" , but not being able to afford the lifesaving medication you need is pressure no-one should have to deal with!! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you Healthwell....you truly are "lifesavers" in every sense of the word. Sincerely, Terry Crippen

The Healthwell Foundation helped me at a time when I could not afford very crucial medication. I was extremely grateful; it felt as if they helped saved my life. Their staff made me feel welcome; they were always professional, personable and compassionate. Thank you Healthwell Foundation for being there for me!

I was so excited to learn that there was an statin injection available instead of taking pills. I had had terrible experiences taking oral statins! And then I learned of the high cost of the injections. No way could I afford them…we were retirees on a fixed income!
Then a doctor told me about the Healthwell Foundation and how the had helped so many people.
We talked with them, filled out the necessary paperwork, and in a very short time, I was approved for a grant! For the entire cost!
It was simple process guided by very kind people, and after almost a year, I can tell you it is one of the nicest, most helpful things ever done for me! I was even given instructions about how to apply for the grant next year!
God bless you, HEALTHWELL for your kind generosity in helping me stay healthy!

Where do I even begin. Healthwell was recommended by our daughters social worker at her pulmonologist clinic. You see, my daughter was born with Cystic Fibrosis. A genetic condition that affects the respiratory and digestive system. In order to keep her as healthy as can be, she is required to take numerous medications and breathing treatments each and every day. Some of her medications aren’t always covered by Medicaid. For example her vitamins and probiotics. Healthwell was a lifesaver when I had nowhere else to turn! After submitting the application over the phone we were provided with a grant immediately to use at her pharmacy! We are truly blessed to have found such an amazing foundation, we are forever thankful. So much stress was lifted off my shoulders now that my daughter is able to get everything she needs. Thank you Healthwell Foundation!
The Lopez family.

My experience with HealthWell Foundation began with a search for help for insurance payment help. I contacted them and during my application process I did not feel like I was being "looked down on" for needing the assistance. I was approved and VERY appreciative. The money I was granted was used to pay for physical therapy, which helps me maintain strength & balance to maintain my ability walk. It has a direct impact on the quality of my life. For that me, my children and my grandchildren thank everyone for this.

HealthWell Foundation helps me with my copays for my cystic fibrosis meds. I definitely would not be able to afford my meds without them so they are my lifesaver. Without them I would have to go without the lifesaving meds.
They have always been so supportive and helpful with my medicine needs.
There is no way I could shout from the top of a mountain to praise what the mean to me.

HealthWell came to my wife's aide as a blessing. Without HealthWell's financial assistance, our family could have been facing bankruptcy. Her medicine for treating MS was in excess of $9000.00 a month. The application process was easy and straightforward. THANK YOU for HealthWell !

I'm one of the people that they help with my prescription, without this Foundation I could not afford it, so I thanks theme and the people that support this organization.
Thank you again.

They have always been available to help me.
Very helpful with new ms medication

The HealthWell Foundation has made it possible for me to get my Prolia shot every 6 months by allowing a grant for post-menopause osteoporosis take care of my co-pay. This has been so amazing and has given me such peace of mind. I am very grateful for their assistance. The staff is always so courteous and caring. I thank my lucky stars that such an organization exists.

I have Primary Progressive MS.Because of this brutal disease I have lost my income and very successful career. Healthwell is my hero and has paid my health insurance so i can get the necessary meds to help slow done the rapid progression of my disease. I dont know what I would do without their help. I am so grateful that there are donations to a truly needed foundation.

I was out of the money I needed to pay for my Xolair medication. My Dr had raised his prices 3 times and I was no longer able to affor this life saving medication until a dr friend suggested I look into getting a grant from the Healthwell foundation. I was immediately approved for a grant that covered my copays for full year. That was 5 years ago and I have applied for and been approved grants several years. Thank you healthwell.

Health well was a lifesaver! I needed meds for my multiple sclerosis, but am on a fixed income and could not afford them! Thank you Health well for helping me!

Super Organization, we thank God for them. They have helped provide the lifesaving medical assistance to help my wife with her multiple myeloma. Thank you.

I was diagnosed with MS in 2015 - The Healthwell foundation has been invaluable in making sure I have access to the medication I need to slow the progression. Without Healthwell, I, like most people, would not be able to afford the copays

HealthWell Foundation has friendly people and it was easy to match my need to what they have to offer. My experience with them has been excellent. They were quick to mail me appropriate materials and information. I was able to use the funds for my unaffordable prescription. I’m on Social Security Disability as my sole income, so they are a true blessing!

My husband was diagnosed with osteoporosis and needed Prolia injections every 6 months . We applied for a grant to help with the expense because we are on a fixed income and Healthwell has been helping us for 2 years now . My husbands osteoporosis has been improving with the injections . We are so thankful for help that we get from this non profit!

It has been so wonderful working with HealthWell Foundation. I was a recipient of one of their Grants that helped pay for my health insurance. I have eight auto-immune diseases along with several other illnesses. This makes for lots of doctor's visits, lab work, hospital stays, and a bunch of medications. My health costs are high. My grant through HealthWell Foundation allowed me to maintain good insurance, which helped keep all my other health costs down to a more reasonable level and get all the medical care that I require.

HealthWell was so easy to work with. All my questions were answered quickly, they helped me figure out the paperwork needed, and issued my monthly checks promptly. The people I dealt with were very compassionate. I couldn't have made it through last year without them. They are a wonderful Foundation that really makes a difference. I hope people in the position to donate to them do so. My Grant just ended and the Fund for Lupus is closed, although there are other open Funds for other conditions. I can only assume the closure for Lupus is due to lack of funding, I'm sure many people like me are going to find this next year so much harder without their help. Recognizing HealthWell Foundation for the good work they do, and getting their information to those who can donate funding, will help so many people.

My bone density test showed that my infusions were not helping and my doctor said that I should have Prolia injections twice a year. When I found out how much my copayment would be, I was devastated because there was no way that I could pay that amount on my Social Security income. A friend told me about Healthwell Foundation and I called. The person I spoke with was so helpful and after my interview, I was told that I qualified for help. What a relief this was to me. HealthWell has been a lifesaver.

My mom is a 90 yo who lives on a fixed income. After trying several other medications, without success, her cardiologist prescribed Repatha for her hypercholesterolemia. After taking it for one year (she received it free from Amgen's Safety Net Foundation), her cardiologist stated that he believed Repatha had made a huge difference -- not only with her hypercholesterolemia, but also with her peripheral artery disease.

Unfortunately, after the first year, Amgen changed its perimeters and Mom was unable to receive it for free. She has Medicare and a Part D supplement, but the copay for this medication was well beyond what she could afford. It quickly became a situation where the weight of struggling to pay the copay for this needed medication was taking a toll on Mom. After exhausting all other assistance resources, we were led to the Healthwell Foundation.

The Healthwell Foundation graciously offered my mom $2500/yr to cover the copays for her Repatha prescription. It has meant the world to us to watch her stay healthy and active as possible. There is no way she would have been able to stay on her medication if the Healthwell Foundation had not helped her out.

Every person we have ever spoken with at the Healthwell Foundation has been friendly and so very helpful. When calling their offices, we have never felt rushed or been forgotten on hold. Their representatives always ensure that all our questions are answered and have even helped us by suggesting additional resources for my mom.

The assistance the Healthwell Foundation has given my mom has been immeasurable. We celebrated her 90th birthday this past July and we are very grateful for the role the Healthwell Foundation has played in allowing her to stay on her needed medication.

The Healthwell Foundation has truly been a blessing for my mom and our family.

After a Multiple Myeloma diagnosis in early 2017, my Oncologist recommended a combination of medications for an Immunotherapy protocol. The "Sticker Shock" of the cost and associated co-pays of of one of these medications really sent me into a low level of hope for a remission. Thanks to the co-pay assistance provided by HealthWell Foundation and the positive results of the medications, My level of hope is higher than it has ever been.

I am very thankful to be able to have access to the MS medication I need thanks to The Healthwell Foundation.

For years now HealthWell has given me a grant which has seen that I received my MS medicine. Without this grant I would not of been able to keep me on a steady course of living with MS. I owe my health to HealthWell.
Thank You

HealthWell Foundation has enabled me to be able to take the Prolia injections needed for osteoporosis. It is an extremely expensive drug, prohibitive to most people who need it. I was unable to take any of the other osteoporosis drugs and I applied for a grant through the HealthWell Foundation and have been getting the Prolia every six months for 3 years and my bone density has gone up. They are a wonderful organization and I am very grateful for their assistance.

I have MS and transitioned from company insurance on retirement to a fixed income situation. The price of my medication was cost prohibitive without some type of copay to help me. I was in panic mode and very stressed until the HealthWell Foundation accepted me into their program. I can't even begin to explain the relief they have given to me. I truly do not know what I would have done without their financial assistance. They were life savers.

I was suffering from sarices and had to have Embrial shots weekly. These shots were a thousand dollars a week and without help from health well I would never gotten better. Health well Foundation is the greatest.

We have been helped with trilicity program. My husband is a heart transplant 11 years now, and is a steroid induced diabetic. Besides he also required day and night insulins for control, which are very expensive. We are on a fixed income, and are eternally grateful to get part of a years supply of trilicity from this organization. Thank you!

I am on a cholesterol medication due to heriditary background.

I'm not much good at writing, but here it goes. I was diagnose with stage 4 lung cancer Sept 17, 2020. As you can figure my world turned upside down, didn't know what I was going to do. Then a month later I received a letter from The HealthWell Foundation, stating they will help pay my health insurance. They paid it for a full year and it took a burden off of me. I am very greatful for their help. Without their help I would be owning a lot of money. They where there when needed, so please help them so they can help us.
Thanks Rita

My sincere thanks to the Health well Foundation for the services you provided to me. I needed financial assistance for the medications my doctor prescribed for Pulmonary Hypertension and Primary Biliary
Cirrhosis of the liver. I applied for your grant and was awarded $10,000 to pay for these medications and I will be eternally grateful to you for your support. May God bless you for the work you are doing, helping patients who are unable to afford expensive medication.

I have been battling high cholesterol for years. Taking Crestor helped somewhat, but my cholesterol levels were still way above where they should have been. After a heart attack, my cardiologist prescribed Praluent injections and gave me samples for a couple of months. Miraculously,
my cholesterol levels plummeted into the acceptable range! Sadly, there was no way I could afford this extremely expensive medication, even with help from Medicare. HealthWell Foundation came to the rescue, and they have significantly subsidized my Praluent costs. Thank you, HealthWell Foundation!

When my doctor recommended Prolia for my severe osteoporosis, my first thought was "how will I afford it?" I had good insurance, but I had researched the medication in the past and knew the copay would be high. Btu I was shocked when the specialty pharmacist told me about Healthwell. the application process was simple, the approval was fast, and my communication with Healthwell has always been efficient and prompt. I thank them profusely each time I have contact, so I am happy to have a chance to express my appreciation publicly. They are doing good work for so many people!

They helped my dad get his expensive gout medication for several years. Easy and quick process. He could finally get the medication he needed.

If it was not for HealthWell Foundation's grant, we could not afford the copay for her MS drug. We are on Medicare and on a fixed income. When my wife found out how much the drug costs, she told me she would not take the drug. We had many a sleepless nights wondering how her condition could worsen without the medication. I contacted HealthWell. They were very caring and we got a grant which helped with the cost so that she could continue her medication. Thank God for HealthWell!

I was introduced to Healthwell Foundation via a Pharmaceutical company. I applied for a grant that would assist in paying my co-pay for a medication that I could not afford and I do have insurance.

The application process was handled expediently and efficiently. It was seamless in supplementing my insurance. Healthwell Foundation is deserving of any recognition associated with a non-profit.

My husband received help from HealthWell for his Gout medication that he has to take daily due to his heart condition. This foundation was a Godsend to us because his medication was going to cost us out of pocket $1000.00 a month because our health insurance was not going to pay for it at all. I found out about HealthWell Foundation by searching for grants to help with medications. They have been helping us 2 years now.
Thank you,
Mr. and Mrs. R D Engle

Healthwell is doing a wonderful job. Without them I would not be able to take the medication that keeps me from having horrible flares of my lupus. There is no possible way for me to afford it. I can’t say enough about how much I appreciate what they do. I am able to live my life without debilitating pain.
It was easy to apply and I heard back very quickly that I was accepted.

Thank you HealthWell. If I ever get money I know who will get a share to help others.

I cannot begin to express my gratitude for HealthWell!! They helped us when we were going through the absolute most difficult time in our lives. Now that our lives are stable and on track, we donate when we can to help others. HealthWell is amazing!

These folks are easy to work with and a blessing to the ones who need special medicine and can not afford it. Don't know what we would do without them.

HealthWell Foundation provides me with a grant to pay my copay for Prolia. Whenever I call them, they are so nice and helpful. I enjoy working with them. They certainly know what good customer service is about.

The foundation gave me a grant of up to $8000(to be used as needed) in order to help pay for a new prostate cancer drug that is keeping me alive, along with some other meds. The new drug costs over $10,000 a month but with medicare and supplemental insurance, plus the grant from HealthWell, I have been able to afford it. It's very comforting to know that there are great people and organizations out there that want to help overcome the financial burden of serious health issues. I don't know what I would have done without HealthWell.

Hello! I was told to contact your organization from my gynecologist because my prescription for osteoporosis left a large amount of money I would have to pay. Your organization has taken care of my overages for 2 years. I still am in amazement that you have donors who are so generous and caring enough to contribute for the sake of others. Never in my life have I ever received any amount of money free of charge. May God continue to bless you and your work to make medications available to those who might not otherwise be able to afford them.
Sincerely,
Barbara K. Sansone

I am truly grateful to the healthwell organization for allowing me to have coverage for a very expensive medicine that will save my life! This organization makes it possible for patients like me who have access to funding and fall through the cracks as far as income level standards.

Thank you to the very generous donors that make this opportunity possible… And keeping people safe and offering a better quality of life!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

I was diagnosed with MS in 2008. I was eventually put on a disease modifying therapy (DMT) which slows the progression on the disease and minimizes flares. The cost of these DMT's is in the +$150,000 range. I am fortunate that I've had good health insurance but the cost of the copay is impossible to cover in my situation. Without the HealthWell Foundation I could not afford the medication and my condition would undoubtedly be much worse. With the medication I have been able to lead a mostly normal life thanks to HealthWell.

I have very severe osteoporosis and osteopenia and am unable to take oral medicine to improve my condition. The only route available to me is by injection. Living on Social Security does not give me the option of paying the exorbitant copay for the injectable drug. Several years ago, a pharmacist suggested I call HealthWell Foundation to help with my copay. What an amazing organization! Their generous grant, solicitous working relationship and overall kindness and empathy to my plight have allowed me to access their offering every six months. I can't say enough about these wonderful people who were there for me when I needed them most. I show my appreciation by donating to them as often as I can.

Having CLL and being self employed with a Covid ravaged business of 30 years has all but left me penniless and unable to pay for my treatments. Thanks to the HealthWell Foundation, their grant has helped me tremendously!!

Thanks for supporting individuals such as myself. Being on disability limits my ability to pay for healthcare, groceries, transportation, and prescription drugs. With your support my quality of life has improved. Thanks for all you do and thanks to all the donors and volunteers.

I had a double lung transplant in November in which the donor had Hep C. In turn, I got Hep C and needed very expensive medicine. I could not afford it. My social worker told me about Healthwell Foundation. I called them and they were so helpful and saved my life by assisting with the financial burden of the medicine needed. Thank you si much for your support and kindness

So grateful for this Foundation that offers grant money to cover the co-payment costs for my biannual Prolia injection for Post Menopausal Osteoporosis. While I am covered with Medicare, the co-payment is costly and the grant that I receive has allowed me to receive these injections. The treatment result has been very positive, and my bones have strengthened based on bone density results. Thank you!

As a disabled person with chronic illnesses on a fixed income I have received financial coverage on essential medications from health well’s support. Including vitamin and mineral supplements I require to help maintain my health. Thanks to health well I am able to get some of my medications with no co-pay so I can get by with what money I do have. I am grateful for that.

Healthwell is outstanding. Reps are always pleasant and ready to help. Fast and accurate

I have been using for 2 years, Healthwell has helped me.

They make it possible for me to have a life saving drug that is too expensive for our budget.

They are a miracle organization to me.

I was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in 2019, and without the financial assistance with the exorbitant drug co-pays, I know without a doubt I would not be here today. My husband and I had just retired and were living on a limited income. Healthwell stepped in and not only relieved our financial burden but also our stress burden. We will be forever grateful for Healthwell Foundation.

Healthwell has been a lifesaver for me-literally. Living with Cystic Fibrosis means I have thousands of dollars of medications I take every single month to maintain my quality of life. Insurance doesn’t cover everything, which can leave a huge financial burden on people. Healthwell is there to fill the gap and ensure that my family doesn’t have to choose between food on the table and medicine to keep me alive. It makes a world of difference to me and a whole lot of other families just like mine.

Thanks be to Heaven for this organization! I wound not have access to my medication without them. Thank you with all my heart!

The HealthWell Foundation is a fantastic organization that helps countless individuals as they battle diseases that impact their lives and those of their families. I was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma, a blood cancer, several years ago and the HealthWell Foundation has provided the necessary support to help me continue my fight with a hopeful attitude. For that I am eternally grateful

After having a heart attack I could not get my cholesterol under control. I tried about every medication available but had reactions to all of them. The only remaining option was Repatha but there was no way I could afford even with insurance. Healthwell stepped in with financial aid and my cholesterol is now under control. My aid expires in December so I sure hope they approve me again next year.
