HMO Receives $1M Grants for Children’s Health Insurance
The Blue Shield of California Foundation has given Inland Empire Health Plan, a not-for-profit health maintenance organization, a $1 million grant to expand children's health care coverage, the Riverside Press-Enterprise reports.
The grant will help provide health insurance coverage for 1,000 children between the ages of six and 18, whose families' incomes are less than 300% of the federal poverty level and are ineligible for other government programs (Riverside Press-Enterprise, 12/27/05).
