The Healthwell Foundation — a U.S. nonprofit seeking to improve healthcare access for underinsured patients — has launched a fund to help Medicare beneficiaries with Parkinson’s disease cover the costs of treatment.

Eligible individuals undergoing treatment for Parkinson’s in the U.S. can apply online for a grant of up to $4,000. Grant recipients can use the money to offset copays for more than 80 eligible prescription drugs. The funds can also help pay Medicare Part B premium assistance, which covers doctor’s visits and outpatient care.

Medicare is a federal health insurance program in the U.S. for people age 65 or older, and individuals with certain disabilities.
