Grants to fill health gaps for children
The UnitedHealthcare Children’s Foundation is looking for families who need financial assistance to pay for their child’s health care treatments, services or equipment not covered by their insurance plan.
The health insurance company is now accepting grant applications and qualifying families could get up to $5,000. The money could pay for everything from eyeglasses and hearing aids to physical and occupational therapy.
“We recognize some families experience gaps in coverage for certain medical treatments and equipment, and we are committed to helping fill this void,” said UHCCF president Matt Peterson. “Since expanding our grant program nationwide in 2007, we have provided more than 1,500 grants to families in need of financial assistance.”
The foundation awarded grants to more than 450 families last year.
To be eligible for grants, children must be 16 years of age or younger. Families must meet economic guidelines, reside in the United States and have a commercial health insurance plan.
Parents and legal guardians may apply for grants online at uhccf.org.
