| Purpose |
The UnitedHealthcare 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. |
| Eligibility |
Any child, 16 years old or younger living in any UnitedHealthcare region of the United States in need of financial assistance for health care services will be considered eligible for a grant. The applicant must be covered by a commercial health insurance policy and limits for the requested service are either exceeded, or no coverage is available and/or the copayments are a serious financial burden on the family. Health insurance sponsored by the Federal government (e.g. Medicaid, etc.) does not qualify as a commercial health insurance company. |
