What We Do
At CPSP, we offer technical assistance and support to medical providers who provide pregnancy-related services. We work with local providers to:
- decrease the incidence of low birth weight in infants
- improve the outcome of every pregnancy
- give every baby a healthy start in life
- lower health care costs by preventing catastrophic and chronic illness in infants and children
What We Offer
We offer telephone and medical office-based support to medical offices to apply for enhanced Medi-Cal reimbursement through the CPSP program. We also assist with developing policies and procedures for the clinic's CPSP program. These services are free to medical providers.
