How long does it take?

Once you’ve submitted your application, our Enrollment Team will review your application and send you an Authorization to Release Health Information. This authorization allows us to receive the medical records necessary to confirm whether your child has an eligible condition.

We work as quickly as we can to determine if and how we can help your child. Our goal is to begin making a difference in your family’s life as soon as possible!
