United Healthcare Children's Foundation Grants Available

[Guest guest]

The United Healthcare Children's Foundation has announced that new grants

are available to help children who need critical health care treatment,

services, or equipment 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 may apply for grants of up to $5,000 each for

child medical services and equipment 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 economic guidelines, reside in the United States, and be

covered by a commercial health benefit plan.
