In late 2015, my family ended up in a bit of a financial crisis with therapy bills. My son was seeing a speech therapist weekly and a physical therapist and occupational therapist bi-weekly. My insurance stopped covering his therapy sessions mid-year, but we were enrolled in an early intervention entitlement program which was designed to help cover the cost of therapy services for qualified children ages 0-3. My son didn’t turn three until December so we thought we would be covered. The entitlement program refused to cover my son’s therapy services because my insurance had a cap. We were in shock and didn’t know where to turn. We had continued therapy services for several months after my insurance stopped coverage, not knowing the entitlement program would refuse coverage, and we were facing thousands of dollars in therapy expenses. We reached out to the Montana Melin Foundation for assistance with our son’s speech therapy bills. To our surprise, we received a call immediately and they were more than willing to help us! They were caring and understanding and passionate about helping others in need. We are very thankful for their generosity and compassion and I don’t know where we would be without them.
Thank you Montana Melin Foundation!
