Wal-mart is taken on Medicaid to help sick children get the medical treatment they need. Wal-Mart's attorneys will be challenging the government and other entities to aid in sick children to have access to programs, services and equipment that they were denied. Wal-Mart's 143 attorneys will help patients with many health issues affiliated with" Medicaid" a government funded federal and state health insurance that covers 44 million low income people, families and special needs patients. Wal-Mart will train their staff to help patients glide through Medicaid's protocols with filing out correct forms for expensive treatments, medical devices and specialized wheelchairs and filing out basic forms. Wal-Mart will also help Medicaid families get special education for children and with housing issues and making sure that living conditions are not hazardous to the families. Wal-Mart is partnering with Arkansas Children's Hospital to provide legal support for Medicaid patients and their families, free of charge and this will begin this month. If the program is successful Wal-Mart will go nationwide in partnership with other hospitals, companies and law firms. They also stated that until that happens "they will help families in other areas across the country with legal help."
