PARENTS OF CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS MAY QUALIFY FOR GRANT MONIES

MEDICAL GRANTS AVAILABLE FOR
CHILD HEALTH CARE NEEDS

The United Healthcare Children’s Foundation (UHCCF) is currently accepting grant applications from families in need of financial support for child health care treatment, services or equipment not covered or not fully covered by their health insurance benefit plans.

UHCCF provides medical grants to qualified families enrolled in employer-sponsored health coverage, or who have purchased an individual policy, to help pay for child health care services such as speech, physical or occupational therapy, prescriptions, and medical equipment such as wheelchairs, orthotics and hearing aids.

Parents and legal guardians may apply for grants of up to $5,000 for child medical services and equipment by completing an online application at http://www.uhccf.org/.  The Web site also has grant-application criteria, video clips and stories about recently helped children.
