UnitedHealthcare Children's Foundation Medical Grants Available for Child Health Care Needs
The UnitedHealthcare Children's Foundation (UHCCF) is currently accepting grant applications from families in need of financial support for child health care treatment, services or equipment not covered or not fully covered by their health insurance benefit plans.
UHCCF provides medical grants to qualified families enrolled in employer-sponsored health coverage, or who have purchased an individual policy, to help pay for child health care services such as speech, physical or occupational therapy, prescriptions, and medical equipment such as wheelchairs, orthotics and hearing aids. In 2008, UHCCF helped nearly 600 children nationwide whose families were struggling to pay their share of the cost of medically-related services and equipment.
Families with children ages 16 and younger, who have a commercial health benefit plan, can apply to the UnitedHealthcare Children's Foundation for grants up to $5,000 - regardless of whether or not those families are covered by UnitedHealthcare.
If you know of a family that may benefit from the Foundation's assistance, we invite you to direct them to the UnitedHealthcare Children's Foundation Web site, uhccf.org. Once there, they can learn more about the program and the eligibility criteria, and complete an online application.
Families that apply for a grant will ask for information from you as part of the process. This information may include:
- A detailed description of the child's medical condition
- A description of the treatment, therapy, equipment or service you have prescribed
- The cost of the treatment, therapy, equipment or service
- Your name, phone number and address
The UnitedHealthcare Children's Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)(3) public charity that strives to enhance either the clinical condition or quality of life of children who have health care needs not fully covered by their commercial health benefit plan. UHCCF provides medical grants of up to $5,000 for costs associated with medical services and equipment. UHCCF's funding is provided by contributions from individuals, corporations, and UnitedHealth Group employees. To learn more, visit uhccf.org.
