HealthWell Foundation's Role at Asembia's AXS26 Summit

The HealthWell Foundation, a noteworthy independent non-profit organization devoted to assisting underinsured Americans, has declared its involvement in the upcoming Asembia's AXS26 Summit. This pivotal event is set to take place from April 26 to April 30, 2026, at the vibrant city of Las Vegas, Nevada. This year marks a significant opportunity for HealthWell to engage with leaders in the healthcare space and discuss crucial topics regarding patient assistance.

A Vital Panel Discussion

On April 28, 2026, at 3:00 PM local time, Michael Heimall, the President and CEO of HealthWell Foundation and a notable figure in health advocacy, will moderate a key panel titled "The Role of Specialty Pharmacies When Working with Charitable Patient Assistance Programs (CPAPs)." Joining him will be a diverse group of expert panelists, including:

• - Charles Collins, President, Healthcare Stakeholder Solutions
• - Fran Castellow, President of Operations, Patient Advocate Foundation
• - Kelli Wyant, Senior Vice President of Operations, Amber Specialty Pharmacy

The panel will spotlight the crucial function that independent foundations serve in facilitating access to medications for patients who face soaring out-of-pocket costs from their medical care. Specialty pharmacies are a cornerstone in this ecosystem, providing essential resources and support that allow patients to navigate the complicated healthcare landscape effectively.

Discussion points will include best practices for enrolling patients in assistance programs, ensuring compliance with legal standards, and the effects of alternative funding programs, which have recently raised transparency concerns. This timely dialogue aims to empower participants with insights and strategies that can enhance collaboration between specialty pharmacies and charitable assistance programs, ultimately benefiting patients in need.

HealthWell's Exhibition at the Summit

In addition to the panel, HealthWell will be exhibiting at the AXS26 Summit from April 27 to April 29, 2026. Attendees are encouraged to visit booth #1309 to connect with HealthWell team members and discover more about their innovative programs and services designed to assist patients facing financial hardships.

Michael S. Heimall expressed enthusiasm about the Summit, stating, "We are honored to be speaking at Asembia this year and to discuss how, by compliantly working together, specialty pharmacies and CPAPs provide a critical lifeline for patients facing high out-of-pocket costs for life-changing, often lifesaving, medications and treatments."

This discussion promises to address pressing issues surrounding patient assistance and funding transparency, making it a cannot-miss session for those dedicated to improving health access.
