Program Details

California Children’s Services is not a health insurance plan. It will only cover CCS eligible conditions and not all of a child’s health care needs. There are also certain financial requirements for some of the services provided.

The CCS program offers:

• Diagnostic Evaluations: If a child appears to have a CCS eligible condition but there is no medical documentation of the condition, the CCS program can pay for a diagnostic evaluation to determine eligibility
• Funding for medical treatment services that are needed for the child’s CCS eligible condition including: medical, dental and surgical care, medicine, physical and occupational therapy, lab tests, X-rays, braces, and durable medical equipment
• Medical Therapy Program (MTP): A program within CCS, children who need physical and/or occupational therapy for eligible medical conditions can receive therapy in Medical Therapy Units (MTUs) located throughout the county Learn More (links to MTP program page)
• Medical Case Management: referrals, follow-up, transferring medical records, helping to locate new facilities and services when families move, and assisting the family to cope with the child’s condition
