United HealthCare Announces Medical Assistance Grants

The United Healthcare Children’s Foundation is offering support to meet the needs of children across the United States 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 for healthcare services that will help improve their children’s health and quality of life.  Examples of the types of medical services covered by UHCCF grants include speech therapy, physical therapy, and psychotherapy sessions; medical equipment such as wheelchairs, braces, hearing aids, and eyeglasses; and orthodontia and dental treatments.

Any child 16 years old or younger living in any United Healthcare region of the United States (all 50 states) and in need of financial assistance for healthcare services will be considered eligible for a grant. Families must meet economic guidelines, reside in the US, and be covered by a commercial health insurance plan.
