What expenses are covered?
The following expenses may be eligible for payment/reimbursement if found to be reasonable. The categories include,
but are not limited to:
- Payments to health care providers
- Specialized pediatric ambulatory care
- Addiction/mental health services
- Acute or specialized hospital care, both in and outpatient
- Medical equipment or disposable medical supplies
- Medications
- Medically related home and vehicle modifications
- Medical transportation
- Home health care
- Related travel expenses for out of state treatment
- Following special review, experimental treatment or medications
The Commission will consider other reasonable expenses related to the treatment, palliation, habilitation, or rehabilitation
of a child's illness or medical treatment.
CICRF may pay for expenses related to experimental treatment in certain circumstances. In general, however, the Fund will not
pay for treatment in Phase I clinical trials.
Only expenses for which the family is directly responsible as a result of the child's medical condition may be considered for
payment or reimbursement. For example, expenses covered by health or other insurance cannot be included in the calculation of
total eligible expenses.
In all cases, CICRF should be considered the payor of last resort after the family makes all reasonable attempts to pursue other
funding.
