The United Healthcare Children's Foundation is offering support to meet
the needs of children nationwide with assistance grants for medical
services not fully covered by health insurance.
Parents and caretakers across the country will be eligible to apply for
grants of up to $5,000.00 for health-care services that will help
improve their children's health and quality of life. Examples of the
types of medical services covered by the foundation grants include
speech therapy; physical therapy and psychotherapy sessions; medical
equipment such as wheelchairs, braces, hearing aids and eye-glasses, and
orthodontic and dental treatments.
"The United Healthcare Children's Foundation has already helped more
than 375 families and provided nearly $1 million in financial
assistance", said Foundation President Matt Peterson. "We are excited
about the expansion of the program and look forward to the opportunity
to help many more children have access to healthcare services that will
enhance their health and quality of life."
To be eligible for the grants, children must be 16 years old or
younger. Families must meet economic guidelines, live in the U.S. and
be covered by a commercial health insurance plan. For more information,
