Ensuring access to quality care for children is one of the best ways to promote healthy growth, development and well being. Despite laws designed to ensure that the children have access to the services they need, sometimes additional legal support is needed.

Insurance Access for Craniofacial Patients
Craniofacial medical conditions have complex treatment plans and equally challenging insurance reimbursement requirements. Often families have trouble getting their children the comprehensive treatment required to live normal, healthy lives. Washington Appleseed is working to create a guide to help parents successfully navigate insurance policies to achieve proper treatment.

Access to Dental Care
Low-income and minority children and those with special health care needs are at greatest risk of inadequate access and poor oral health. More than 51 million school hours are lost each year to dental-related illness, and pain from these untreated diseases can lead to problems in eating, speaking and learning. Washington Appleseed is working to increase awareness of dental health in schools and individual homes.
