RIVERSIDE COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH: CALIFORNIA CHILDREN'S SERVICES

   
Information provided by: Riverside County Office on Aging

Benefits of CCS are medical services that the CCS program provides directly to eligible children or arranges to pay for their cost. The following explains some of those services. CASE MANAGEMENT Case Management is determining medical eligibility, deciding what your child needs, and helping you get special doctors and services to meet your child's special needs. This includes help to coordinate your child's medical care and referral to other agencies, such as the county health department, schools, and agencies that serve children and adults with disabilities. Every CCS client receives case management. DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES If CCS thinks that your child might have an eligible condition, CCS will pay for diagnostic services. These include examinations, laboratory tests, and X-rays. Diagnostic services will be provided only until CCS finds out that your child has a condition that is eligible for CCS. TREATMENT SERVICES Treatment services include medical services, medicines, equipment, or supplies that are necessary to treat your child's CCS-eligible condition. Treatment services are provided when they are a benefit of the CCS program, prescribed by a CCS-approved doctor, and authorized by CCS. Most of the time, these services can be provided in doctor's offices close to your home, but sometimes CCS might refer your child to a special care center if your child is eligible. Hospital stay can be authorized by CCS only if the doctor and hospitals are approved by CCS, and the child's condition requires in-patient care. SPECIAL CARE CENTERS A Special care center is where CCS can send your child to get the best medical care, using a team of specialists, such as doctors, social workers, nurses, therapists, and nutritionists. The team members will help you and your child manage your child's medical condition, and you are expected to bring your child in at least once a year. There will be evaluations to measure your child's progress and team meetings, which include you and your child (if your child is old enough) to discuss and/or change the treatments as your child's needs change. CCS special care centers are not for every child enrolled in CCS. MEDICAL THERAPY PROGRAM (MTP) IN SCHOOLS The Medical Therapy Program (MTP) is a coordinated program of medically necessary Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy services provided to medically eligible children. These services are provided in Medical Therapy Units (MTUs) located at certain public schools. PT and OT may help your child to be independent in such areas as getting around, getting in and out of a wheelchair, walking, feeding, dressing, staying clean and neat, and home skills. There is a separate evaluation by the Medical therapy team (the doctors and therapists who specialize in treating children with physical disabilities). The team decides if your child would benefit from MTU services and meets with you to discuss which services would best meet your child's needs.
