ChildServe and UnitedHealthcare have established a new
relationship, giving children enrolled in UnitedHealthcare Medicaid
plans access to all ChildServe facilities and care providers.
ChildServe provides a variety of residential and community
services for children with varying health care conditions and needs, and
operates locations in Ames, Des Moines and Johnston.
UnitedHealthcare is administering the IA Health Link program, working to
meet Iowans’ health care needs by providing health plans that deliver
quality, cost-effective care.
“Our mission is to partner with families to help children with special
health care needs live a great life,” said Lloyd VanderKwaak,
ChildServe president and CEO. “More children with developmental
delays, disabilities and acquired injuries will be able to access our
pediatric specialty health care services through our new relationship
with UnitedHealthcare.”
“ChildServe is an important provider of health care services, and
this new relationship gives children enrolled in UnitedHealthcare’s
Medicaid plans access to critical health services in their communities,”
said Kim Foltz, CEO for UnitedHealthcare Community Plan of Iowa.

information about their coverage may call 1-800-464-9484 or visit www.UHCCommunityPlan.com/ia.
