United Healthcare Children’s Foundation has grants available for Illinois families needing help paying for children’s health care treatments, services or equipment that isn’t covered (or only partly-covered) by commercial insurance.
Families who qualify can receive up to $5,000 for such things as wheelchairs, eye glasses, hearing aids, physical and occupational therapy and orthotics.
To qualify, children must be 16 or younger and families must meet income guidelines and have a commercial health plan.
Funding for the grants comes from contributions made by United HealthGroup employees, corporations and others.
