GERMANTOWN, Md. - The HealthWell Foundation has opened a new fund to provide financial assistance to individuals living with Type 2 diabetes. Through the new fund, HealthWell will provide up to $1,000 in medication co-payment assistance to eligible patients with annual household incomes up to 300% of the federal poverty level for management of their disease. “We are pleased to offer copayment assistance to underinsured individuals living with Type 2 diabetes, but we know that the funding we have available will only be enough to assist approximately 2,000 patients,” said Krista Zodet, HealthWell’s president and CEO. “We will not begin to address the greater need, but we are eager to help as many patients as possible before funding is exhausted. We are thankful to our dedicated donors for recognizing this paramount need and for providing HealthWell with the financial resources to offer co-payment assistance to people with Type 2 diabetes. No one should go without lifesaving medications simply because they can’t afford them." Visit HealthWell’s Type 2 diabetes page to determine a patient’s eligibility. A nationally recognized, independent non-profit organization founded in 2003, the organization has served as a safety net across more than 85 disease states for more than 822,000 underinsured patients. Since its inception, it has provided more than $3.3 billion in financial support through more than 1.3 million grants.
