North Dakota Special Health Services helps eligible state-resident children, youth, and young adults pay for authorized specialty medical services used to diagnose or treat listed chronic conditions. The current official condition list explicitly includes cancer and leukemia, so pediatric B-ALL is within the program’s published medical scope. Financial eligibility begins at 185% of the federal poverty level, but the current household-size chart was not available through the reviewed page. A parent can submit the three required application documents to the Special Health Services unit and then work with program staff on covered specialty care.
Provides the family assistance described in the organization's verified program pages.
