Helpful Tips for Families of Preemies

Preemies Today has developed a list of resources to support families of preemies from their time in the NICU through childhood. This is not an exhaustive list of all providers, but ones our members have used now or in the past. Your healthcare provider is a great resource for finding doctors and medical support, and always check to be sure the resource is a good fit for you and your preemie by asking questions about your particular situation. Also, be sure to find out if the resource can be covered or partially covered by insurance to limit out of pocket expenses.

Please check out our Helpful Tips for Families of Preemies!

If you have additional resources you would like to share with us, or updates to the lists below, email us at info@preemiestoday.org.

The State Children's Health Insurance program (SCHIP) can pay for doctors visits, immunizations, hospitalizations, and emergency room visits.

Financial Assistance (New!)

Do you know of a financial assistance program that would be helpful to preemie parents?  If so, e-mail us at info@preemiestoday.org and tell us about it.

Resources

Supplemental Security Benefits (SSI), Premature infants (37 weeks or less) who are low birth weight (less than 1200 grams or 2.8 lbs.), are considered temporarily disabled for the length of their hospitalization. The child (or parents) can receive up to $30.00 per month while the child is hospitalized. Speak to your NICU nurse or social worker for more information. You will need to submit an application at your local Social Security office.

Medical Assistance (Medicaid) pays for medical expenses for those who are aged, blind, disabled, or who have dependent children. If your child qualifies for SSI benefits, he or she will also qualify for Medicaid for the length of the hospitalization. You must apply separately for Medicaid. Medicaid eligibility is based on SSI eligibility, not on income. If you have private health insurance and it covers 100% of your child’s hospitalization, you may not need to apply for Medicaid during your child’s NICU stay. Speak to your NICU social worker or your hospital financial assistance office.

Institutional Medicaid pays for medical expenses for a child who has a hospitalization longer than 30 days regardless of birth weight or family income. You must apply for Institutional Medicaid prior to discharge. Speak to your NICU social worker or your hospital financial assistance office.

Medicaid Waivers provide some services in the community to people who would otherwise be eligible for institutions, such as nursing facilities or Intermediate Care Facilities. These community services require an additional screening to be eligible. There are different types of Waivers. Here are a couple of examples from Virginia: a Technology (Tech) Waiver may provide private duty nursing, respite care, environmental modifications, and assistive technology. To be eligible your child must rely on technology in replace of a vital bodily function. For example, a gastric tube (g-tube) ventilator, or oxygen support. An Elderly Disabled Consumer Directed (EDCD) Waiver offers personal aide care, medication monitoring, consumer-directed care, and respite. To be eligible for this waiver your child must meet a level of functioning criteria or have a medical need. Go to http://www.dmas.virginia.gov/downloads/pdfs/ab-ltc_medicaid_waiver.pdf to learn more.

The Health Insurance Premium Payment Program (HIPP) is a program that may be available to families with Medicaid. It may reimburse all or part of your employer’s sponsored health insurance premiums. To qualify at least one family member must have full Medicaid coverage and it must be cost-effective for Medicaid to pay your health insurance premiums and co-pays rather than pay for the medical services.

Disabled Children's Relief Fund (DCRF), a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, provides disabled children with assistance to obtain wheelchairs, orthopedic braces, walkers, lifts, hearing aids, eyeglasses, medical equipment, physical therapy, and surgery.
