This is a re-post but if you need equipment it is worth the five minute read.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR ALL FAMILIES WITH SPECIAL NEEDS:


The UnitedHealthcare Children’s Foundation is seeking grant
applications from families in need of financial assistance to help pay for
their child’s health care treatments, services or equipment not covered, or
not fully covered, by their commercial health insurance plan.


Qualifying families can receive up to $5,000 to help pay for
medical services and equipment such as physical, occupational and speech
therapy, counseling services, surgeries, prescriptions, wheelchairs,
orthotics, eyeglasses and hearing aids.


To be eligible for a grant, children must be 16 years of age or
younger.Families must meet economic guidelines, reside in the United States
and have a commercial health insurance plan. Grants are available for
medical expenses families have incurred 60 days prior to the date of
application as well as for ongoing and future medical needs. Parents or
legal guardians may apply for grants at www.uhccf.org, and there is no
application deadline. Organizations or private donors can make
tax-deductible donations to the foundation at this website.


“The UnitedHealthcare Children’s Foundation is dedicated to improving
a child’s health and quality of life by making it easier to access
needed medical-related services. The grants enable families to focus on
their children’s care instead of worrying about how they’ll pay their
medical bills,” said Matt Peterson, president, UnitedHealthcare 
Children's Foundation. “Eligible families in need are encouraged to apply
online for a medical grant today and take advantage of this valuable
resource.”


In 2011, UHCCF awarded more t han 1,200 grants to families across
the United States for treatments associated with medical conditions such
as cancer, spina bifida, muscular dystrophy, diabetes, hearing loss,
autism,cystic fibrosis, Down syndrome, ADHD and cerebral palsy. As
successful fund-raising efforts continue to grow, UHCCF is hoping to help
more children and families in 2012.
