Paying for appropriate care is one of the many challenges faced by people living with CF. We have added a link to another possible source for financial assistance – HealthWell Foundation. According to their web site:

The HealthWell Foundation provides financial assistance to eligible individuals to cover coinsurance, copayments, health care premiums and deductibles for certain medications and therapies. If you’ve been prescribed a medication and your insurance company covers it, but you still cannot afford the coinsurance or copayment required, we may be able to assist you by paying for part of your costs associated with the medication. Also, if you are eligible for health insurance, but cannot afford the insurance premium, we may be able to assist with your insurance premium.

The HealthWell Foundation offers assistance to individuals dealing with a wide range of health issues. They have a program geared specifically to CF which you can find at Cystic Fibrosis HealthWell Foundation. According to their web site:

The Cystic Fibrosis Fund is designed to assist eligible people living with cystic fibrosis with cost-shares associated with CF-specific treatments. In addition, HealthWell is also able to assist with the full cost of vitamins, supplements, hypertonic saline solution, nebulizers paired with treatments, and certain handsets. We are committed to supporting the CF community and the established guidelines around our covered product list are meant to focus on the areas of greatest need for the majority of people living with CF. We understand there are additional areas to be addressed and, over time, it is our hope to be able to expand our coverage even further.

Please note that we are not able to assist with special requests outside of our covered product list at this time.
