New grant to help families with medical expenses not covered by insurance

The United Healthcare Children's Foundation is now offering grants to assist children who need critical health care treatment, services, or equipment that are 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 can apply for grants of up to $5,000 by completing an online application at the UHCCF Web site.

To be eligible for grants, children must be 16 years of age or younger. Families must meet income guidelines, reside in the United States, and be covered by a commercial health benefit plan not Medicaid of SCHIPS.
