The CoverMe Foundation, a non-profit organization funded by the Wellpoint Foundation, Inc., is a new program that could make a real difference in people’s lives. Created to help America’s uninsured and underinsured, it helps connect people with free or low-cost healthcare services. 

Along with helping people find the right resources, they’ll walk you through the application and referral process. Sometimes all you need is someone to be there with you as you slog through the bureaucracy, and it sounds like this program helps fit the bill. To apply for help, there’s a simple online or mail-in form application process. For more information, check out The CoverMe Foundation  web site or give them a call at 1 (877) 678-7631. From their recent press release:

The CoverMe Foundation was conceived as an organization to improve the overall health of citizens in our local communities as well as throughout the United States by assisting consumers in their efforts to locate and access healthcare coverage. Drawing from community resources, government assistance and select corporate partnerships the Foundation strives to facilitate reductions in the number of the uninsured and to improve the overall quality of life for our nation’s citizens.
