Grants Available for Families Struggling with Child Health
The United
Healthcare Children's Foundation has announced that new grants
are available to help children who need critical health care
treatment, services, or equipment not covered or not fully covered
by their parents' health benefit plans. UHCCF provides grants to
families to help pay for child health care services such as speech
therapy, physical therapy, occupational therapy sessions,
prescriptions, and medical equipment such as wheelchairs,
orthotics, and eyeglasses. Parents and legal guardians may apply
for grants of up to $5,000 each for child medical services and
equipment by completing an online application at the UHCCF Web
site.
To be eligible for a grant, children must be 16 years of age or
younger. Families must meet economic guidelines, reside in the
United States, and be covered by a commercial health benefit
plan.
