HealthWell Foundation
Grants that cover copays, premiums, and treatment-related travel for people with specific diagnoses.
Best for
Insured patients whose copays or premiums for a named condition have become unaffordable.
Why Kave includes this
Copay funds are the difference between a prescribed treatment and an abandoned one, and HealthWell publishes which disease funds are open, closed, or waitlisted rather than making applicants find out by applying. That candour is why it is in the catalogue.
- Expected cost
- Grants are paid to the patient or provider. Amounts and covered costs depend on the specific disease fund.
- Insurance requirement
- Most funds require insurance that covers the treatment in question.
- Who qualifies
- Income limits are set per fund, commonly up to 400–500% of the Federal Poverty Level, plus a qualifying diagnosis and US residence.
- Where it is available
- Nationwide (United States)
- How you use it
- Online or by phone
- Languages
- English and Spanish
Limitations Kave wants you to know about
- Funds open and close as money is exhausted; your condition may have no open fund today.
- Generally requires existing insurance, so it does not help the uninsured.
- Grants are time-limited and must be renewed.
