California Children's Services (CCS) is a statewide program that arranges, directs, and pays for medical care, equipment, and rehabilitation, when these services are authorized by the program. Services can be authorized for children and young adults less than 21 years of age who have eligible medical conditions and whose families are unable to pay for all or part of their care. CCS medical staff select the most qualified of our network of professionals to treat the child's CCS-eligible condition. It is important to note that CCS is not a health insurance program and will only meet the health needs related to the CCS-eligible condition. |
