The United Healthcare Children's Foundation (UHCCF) has announced that

new

grants are available to help children who need critical healthcare

treatment, services, or equipment not covered or not fully covered by

their parents' health benefit plans.

The foundation provides grants to families to help pay for child

healthcare services such as speech therapy, physical therapy,

occupational

therapy sessions, prescriptions, and medical equipment such as wheel

chairs, orthotics, and eyeglasses.

Parents and legal guardians may apply for grants of up to $5,000 each

for

medical services and equipment by completing an online application.

I wanted to mention you must submit receipts and invoices to get

reimbursed. You don't get a check for your grant amount in full or

anything like that. It takes 3 weeks from when I send in my

documentation for me to get reimbursed. They say it may take up to 4

weeks for them to reimburse you.

Do you have to have United Healthcare to get this or can you have any

insurance? What if your insurance pays for part of speech (80% of the

" allowable benefit " ) but you have to pay for the rest when you are out of

network?

I just applied. They called me and will have a decision by the end of november.

I am praying we get it. Right now we are paying approx 600.00 per week for

therapies and they want to add 3 more we can't pay for. You basically need to

show that your health insurance does not cover it. Pray for us.

No I actually have Aetna HMO right now. The grant may be used to

reimburse you for co-pays and the balance you have to pay when you are

out-of-network too.

you're very fortunate that you qualify for something like this.

We're paying $1,000/wk right now out of pocket for Asa's therapy-- and to

add to that of course we're paying the $1200/mo for the health coverage that

DOESN't cover the therapy. LOL

It's so crazy isn't it?

We are also paying 1200.00 per month for insurance cobra coverage. I get so

angry that our state offers basically nothing for my daughter. We just moved to

Georgia and the babies can't wait program stinks. They don't even have any

therapists in my area. When we were in Florida my daughter received 8 therapies

a week through the state and Joe Dimaggios childrens hospital grants. They have

nothing like that here. We are also trying to get the Beckett Waiver which

I guess is a medicaid. When we applied for ssi we were denied because of income

.. Also, in Florida if we did have to pay for therapy they gave us discounts for

cash paying (even at the hospital) 60.00 per visit here nobody will do that and

we arre paying 120.00 per therapy. It's crazy. Good luck to you. I hope maybe

after the election there will be changes made to health insurance coverages. We

could only wish.
