 United States with assistance grants for medical services not

 Examples of the types of medical services covered by UHCCF 

 grants include speech therapy, physical therapy, and psycho-

 therapy sessions; medical equipment such as wheelchairs, 

 braces, hearing aids, and eyeglasses; and orthodontia and 

 dental treatments.

 Any child 16 years old or younger living in any UnitedHealth-

 care region of the United States and in need of financial 

 assistance for healthcare services will be considered eligible 

 for a grant. Families must meet economic guidelines, reside 

 in the United States, and be covered by a commercial health 

 insurance plan.
