Whom to Approach for Medical Treatment Grants?
People would sometimes find themselves worrying about financial matters in the event of medical-related circumstances.
Medical expenses are serious financial troubles and these can eat up a huge chunk of financial budgets.
Fortunately, there are institutions and sometimes even individuals who award grants for medical-related situations and these awards are usually in the form of cash.
The grantors may be a public institution like the state government or a private entity like corporations that are committed to advancing health welfare.
The grants for medical treatments are availed at no cost but many people remain unaware of this fact.
The awareness may be due to the subtle campaigns and advertisements the award-giving institutions have for their grant programs. There are a lot of places one can go to inquire about grants for medical bills.
1. Medicaid
You can contact the local government which implements Medicaid as one of its healthcare programs. Before you apply make sure to check Medicaid Eligibility Requirements as you must fall into certain financial limitations to be qualified for Medicaid.
Rules of Medicaid qualifications also vary according to your marital status as well as your immigration status.
2. Direct Approach to Hospitals
You can approach the hospital and ask for medical grant-awarding bodies which can be in partnership with the same hospital.
Many big hospitals have some sort of connections and partnerships with charities. These hospitals partner with these organizations under COE (Center of Expertise in Health) to support academic studies and the growth of new research projects. You will have a better understanding of this process once you contact a hospital.
3. Organizations
You can approach organizations for medical grants that are known to be assisting with the kind of illness that you have.
Organizations are existing to support specific medical situations, for instance, the American Cancer Society, Susan G. Komen and BCRF which support people with cancer cases.
When approaching such organizations make sure to be in touch with your healthcare provider or physician to make sure you are on the right track. Not all the foundations are equally focused on the same area of medical focus.
4. Interest Groups
Fourthly, one can seek possible help from interest groups that may be willing to extend financial assistance in situations like this – for instance, groups that are affiliated with a Christian organization.
There is a strong possibility that your church or organization will be raising funds to support your case.
Lastly, if you are an employee who needs to seek a grant, you may approach your employer in this case. Most companies have programs designed to assist their employees in this kind of situation.
The employment status also plays a big part when deciding who should be the priority for medical grants for patients out of the available budget.
Never lose your hope as you have enough problems to deal with. If you are a US citizen and can’t afford your mandatory medical treatment there are always grants available.

I am a teacher. My daughter became very distress after the hurricane Katrine. Last year she was diagnosed with birth traumatic brain injury and other related problems because of that. She was diagnosed at the Amen Clinics in California. The treatment suggested is Hyporbaric Oxygen Therapy and Neurofeedback which in all has an approximate cost of 20,000 dollars. I would like to know if there is a possibility of a grant. She is 30 and is a biologist who wanted to study medicine but has seen her life stopped because of the problem. Can you tell me if there are grants for this or where could we go to. Thanks

“Tiffany is lacking oxygen in her body due to inflammation and because of that she is suffocating from the inside out. Tiffany has been given many titles, but it wasn’t until July where she was finally given some diagnoses: mainly MCS (a type of mast cell disease), angioedema (a blood disorder), hypoxia (a lack of oxygen is getting to her tissues and cells), dysautonomia (a dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system), and adrenal insufficiency (her adrenal glands are severely damaged to the point where a highly stressful episode can kill her).”
