Nine-year-old Remington “Remi” Bateman started a GoFundMe after her insurance claim for a prosthetic arm was denied. She raised $30,000 and decided to use the money to buy robotic arms for two other kids in need. Remi’s family filed the insurance claim for the prosthetic arm, which was deemed medically necessary by doctors, but was denied by Select Health. CrowdHealth offered to pay for Remi’s prosthetic arm in full, so she used the donations to help another boy named Taj. Remi’s family hopes to continue advocating for insurance coverage for prosthetic arms for all kids in need.
