Mission Statement: Assuring
the health of Californias children.
California Childrens Services is a statewide program
that arranges, directs and pays for medical care,
equipment, and rehabilitation, for children and young
adults who have eligible medical conditions. However,
it is important to know that CCS is not a health insurance
plan and will not cover all of your childs health
needs, only the CCS eligible condition.
Who is eligible for CCS?
- Age: Under 21 years
of age.
- Residence: Must be a
permanent resident of Stanislaus County
- Income: Family income
must be less than $40,000 (State Adjusted Gross)
- Medical Conditions:
Only certain conditions are eligible. In general,
CCS covers medical conditions that are physically
disabling or require medical, surgical, or rehabilitative
services.
You can still be eligible with an income over
$40,000 if you meet one of the following:
- You have full scope Medi-Cal.
- You have Healthy Families.
- Your out-of-pocket medical expense for your child’s
care of a CCS eligible condition is more then 20%
of your family income.
- You need/want therapy services only.
- You need diagnostic services.
- You adopted your child with a known medical problem
that made them eligible for CCS.
- Medical: In general,
CCS covers medical conditions that are physically

Anyone can refer a child to CCS, including parents.
Ask your childs doctor if your child has a medical
condition eligible for CCS. After the referral the
parents will fill out an application and/or financial
eligibility form and meet all the requirements. CCS
provides case management, diagnostic services, treatment
services, Special Care Centers and Medical Therapy
Services.
