| Facts And Circumstances Test | The HealthWell Foundation (the "Foundation") offers the following facts and circumstances in support of its ongoing classification as a public charity and not a private foundation.General Background - The Foundation provides need-based financial assistance to underinsured individuals living with chronic and/or life-altering illnesses such as multiple sclerosis, cystic fibrosis, multiple myeloma and many other types of cancer. Through 2020, the Foundation has helped 617,948 patients afford their prescription drug copayments, premiums and other out-of-pocket health care costs.The Foundation grants funds to patients who have private or government-sponsored insurance but who are still unable to afford their insurance copayments or premiums to obtain coverage for their conditions. The Foundation awards grants based on the objective consideration of financial and medical criteria and the adequacy of the recipient's insurance coverage. Grants are awarded to recipients for a 12 month cycle. The Foundation does not place restrictions on the medications within each disease fund its grant recipients use. The decision as to which medications are prescribed is a medical judgment. Further, the Foundation does not limit the providers or pharmacies its grant recipients may use to obtain their medications.Public Support Percentage - The Foundation's cumulative public support percentage through December 31, 2020 is 28.46%, which is above the minimum amount at which facts and circumstances will be considered by the Service in determining the Foundation's ongoing qualification as a publicly supported charity. The Foundation's public support percentage has generally maintained an upward trajectory since 2004, with a small fluctuation down in 2018; the facts and circumstances relating to the Foundation's structure and operations present an exceptionally strong case in support of its ongoing classification as a public charity and not as a private foundation. These facts and circumstances, which are discussed in more detail later, include the following:1. The Foundation is not controlled by its contributors and has no endowment fund, characteristics which distinguish it from virtually all private foundations.2. The Foundation's board represents many diverse aspects of the health care community, demonstrating the Foundation's commitment to the broad public benefit and the Foundation's commitment to operate an outstanding organization that will attract future public support.3. The Foundation's activities broadly benefit the general public as well as other charitable organizations that are attempting to help patients cope with a variety of illnesses and conditions.Facts and Circumstances Supporting Qualification as a Publicly Supported Organization1. Attraction of public support. The Foundation's policy is to accept contributions from donors and to disburse the contributions in the form of grants as soon as practicable. The Foundation does not have an endowment fund, and its ability to fulfill its future mission is entirely dependent on its ability to attract future support from donors on a continuous basis. None of the Foundation's historical substantial contributors have pledged or otherwise committed to continue to support the Foundation in future years. Therefore, the Foundation must continually seek new donors to sustain its funds, and it has done so. Specifically:- The Foundation employs 118 persons who, in addition to their primary tasks, may also work on fundraising projects as needed.- The Foundation's corporate cumulative donor base has increased each year from one corporate donor in 2004 to 54 corporate donors.- The Foundation's Chief Development Officer works with the President and board to identify and pursue new corporate fundraising opportunities.- The Foundation's Senior Director of External Relations works to identify and secure partners and sponsors for the Foundation's broad-based initiatives, including its Pediatric Assistance and Cancer-Related Behavioral Health Funds.- The Foundation's Senior Director of External Relations also engages disease-aligned non-profits to promote the Foundation program and specific disease area funds to their networks.- The Foundation regularly solicits support from private individuals, which has resulted in donations from more than 44,200 individual donors. 2. Representative governing body. The Foundation's board consists entirely of nationally-recognized health care experts with deep experience in the fields of health care administration, clinical practice and research, direct patient care, patient advocacy and health law. The composition of the board exemplifies the Foundation's commitment to represent the broad interests of the general public and to operate in a manner that will attract attention - and support - from a broad range of potential donors.Given their diverse expertise, the Foundation's board members bring forward a variety of important issues to encourage discussion about how the Foundation's programs and services will directly impact the general public. Their wide-ranging opinions help to expand the Foundation's viewpoint and result in an organization that can respond successfully to important changes in the health care environment.Significantly, none of the Foundation's board members are affiliated with any contributor to the Foundation and it is the Foundation's strict policy that there not be such affiliations. Moreover, no contributor has the power to appoint directors to the Foundation's board. In this regard, the Foundation differs markedly from a private foundation, where the governing body is typically composed of substantial contributors and/or members chosen by substantial contributors. 3. Availability of public facilities or services; public participation in programs or policies. The Foundation puts forth significant efforts to make the availability of its programs and services known to the general public through avenues such as its website (www.HealthWellFoundation.org), where patients, providers, pharmacies and advocates can obtain information on the Foundation's program, apply online and, through interactive portals, manage a patient's portfolio of grants (providers and pharmacies) or monitor their own grant (patients). These avenues are updated continuously and monitored closely throughout the year. The Foundation engages in a wide range of promotional outreach activities, including media relations and blog activities (www.RealWorldHealthCare.org) in addition to targeted social media campaigns to educate the public, providers, pharmacies and other health-related organizations about its work. News about the Foundation's programs regularly appears in local and national publications, including medical journals, newspapers, magazines, blogs and health care websites. Typically, representatives of the Foundation regularly attend national and local conferences including those of such entities as CBI Patient Assistance Program, The Liver Meeting, American Society of Clinical Oncology, North American Cystic Fibrosis Conference, Asembia Specialty Pharmacy Summit, and American Society of Hematology. COVID-19 and travel restrictions prevented representatives from participating in live events in 2020. In order to continue to share information about our programs and services, Foundation representatives engaged in a number of virtual events including virtual exhibits and panel participation in order to contribute to timely discussions on industry-related issues. Virtual events included CBI PAP Patient Assistance and Access, National Association of Specialty Pharmacy, Lymphoma Research Foundation's North American Education Forum on Lymphoma, and The Liver Meeting.Additionally, when the Foundation establishes a new fund with respect to a particular disease or condition, the Foundation:- Identifies key national patient support and health care organizations that are able to reach out to patients in the new fund area.- Identifies appropriate contacts in each organization that focus on patient advocacy and/or reimbursement issues. - Invites these organizations to educate patients, providers, advocates and their broader networks about the Foundation's programs by posting a link to www.HealthWellFoundation.org on their websites, promoting via social media and/or including information about the Foundation's services in their marketing and educational materials as well as their webinars and conferences. - Issues a press release to announce a new fund to the media, patient advocacy groups and the broader health care community.- Reaches out to prospective donors to solicit additional support for the disease area.- Promotes the new fund in its newsletter, "The Pulse," which reaches approximately 48,000 individuals several times a year, and through social media. | FactsAndCircumstancesTestTxt |

| Explanation | Furthermore, the Foundation is referenced by, or is linked to, the websites of a number of organizations that direct patients for copayment and premium assistance. Such organizations include Partnership for Prescription Assistance, American Cancer Society, CMS, ALS Foundation, International Myeloma Foundation, National MS Society, Community Liver Alliance, Lupus Foundation of America, CancerCare, American Porphyria Foundation and NeedyMeds, among others. Conclusion In summary, the HealthWell Foundation has the characteristics of a "publicly supported organization, based on the facts and circumstances test described in section 1.170a-9(e)(3) of the treasury regulations. Specifically, a small number of donors do not control HealthWell; rather HealthWell is a growing institution that bears many of the indicia of a "publicly supported organization, including public support from a wide cross-section of donors with a representative governing body. Moreover, HealthWell is continuing to seek new sources of support from the general public as well as other organizations. Accordingly, the Foundation qualifies as a "publicly supported organization described in section 170(b)(1)(a)(vi). | ExplanationTxt |

| Form And Line Reference | Part I, Line 2: | FormAndLineReferenceDesc |
| Explanation | Each patient seeking assistance is screened for eligibility either by a specialist through the Foundation Hotline or through the Foundation's online application tool. Criteria are static across all of the Foundation funds: depending on the particular fund from which the grant issues, the patient's household income may be up to 500% of the Federal Poverty Level, adjusted for household size and high cost of living areas; the patient must have a diagnosis that the Foundation currently supports; the patient must have insurance coverage for the treatment for which they are seeking assistance; that treatment must be an eligible treatment under the HealthWell fund; and the treatment must be dispensed in the United States. In addition, during the approval process, a soft credit check is run on the applicant to determine that they meet the income requirements for the Program. If the soft credit check does not return a satisfactory result, the patient is required to submit a full income document review in order to receive assistance through the Program. Otherwise, patients are approved if all criteria are met during screening. Patients receive a pharmacy card to use at the local retail pharmacy, through mail order pharmacy, or through specialty pharmacy. The pharmacy card cannot be used for primary payment and provides electronic point of sale reimbursement for the pharmacy. In cases where the pharmacy card cannot be used, the Foundation requires the submission of a completed Reimbursement Request Form along with additional information as outlined on the form. Upon receipt, the request is reviewed: a Foundation payment specialist enters the received information into the system and the system validates the date of service, an insurer paid first, the product is an eligible treatment under the HealthWell fund, and the patient has an active, fully approved grant. Only if all systematic checks pass, the payment specialist processes the payment. | ExplanationTxt |
