Health plans can benefit from gaining insight into the experiences of families with children with special health care needs (CYSHCN). Seek opportunities to share your experiences with your health plan through Family Advisory Councils or other committees. Collaborate with other families to exchange information and help bridge cultural differences that could impede good care. Use this tip sheet to initiate a conversation with your child’s health care plan. This can help them assess and enhance their programs, policies, and resources for CYSHCN.
