GERMANTOWN, Md. — The HealthWell Foundation, an independent non-profit charitable organization that provides financial assistance for underinsured Americans, has opened a new fund to provide financial assistance to individuals living with COPD. Through the fund, HealthWell will provide up to $3,250 in medication copayment or insurance premium assistance to eligible Medicare patients with annual household incomes up to 500% of the federal poverty level for the management of their disease. “Individuals with COPD often need multiple medications and treatments that can create financial challenges,” said Jean Wright, M.D., CEO of the COPD Foundation. “We commend the HealthWell Foundation for addressing this issue and enabling people to afford proper treatment plans. Our partnership aims to make medications more accessible and supports the COPD Foundation’s mission to help millions of people live longer and healthier lives.” To determine eligibility and apply for assistance, visit HealthWell’s Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease - Medicare Access Fund page.
