Children with diagnosed special needs are often eligible for Medicaid even if their parents have private health insurance and financial means. With Medicaid, medical treatments and medications can be free. To find out about the program and whether your child is eligible, go to COMPASS.  The Pennsylvania Health Law Project also offers a quick and easy screening to see if you might be eligible for free or low-cost health care coverage.
