How we help you navigate your healthcare needs

The Family-to-Family Health Information Center helps families of children and youth with special health care needs, and the professionals who serve them, to find healthcare funding. Because children with special health care needs issues are chronic and complex, parents and caregivers are often challenged with finding the resources to finance health care for their children. We are here for you!

How do we help Families?

We know and understand the issues that families face; we provide support, reliable information, resources, and can connect you with other family and professional networks for your needs.

Some suggestions to get started:

• Provide examples of questions to ask medical professionals about your child’s diagnosis
• What are the eligibility requirements for Medicaid? How do I apply?
• What do I do to check eligibility or re-enrollment if my child’s Medicaid coverage has been dropped?
• My child is going to need significant medical care, how do I apply for that coordinated support?
• Who do I go to for appealing a denial in the different types of coverage?
