California Children's Services

Modoc County CCS program provides diagnostic and treatment services, medical care management, and physical and occupational therapy services to children and young adults under age 21 with CCS eligible medical conditions.

The CCS program was established to assure that children with physically disabling conditions receive quality health care for their eligible conditions at the appropriate time and place by the necessary specialists. We perform this function by:

  1. defining the conditions requiring specialty care,
  2. determining program eligibility,
  3. selecting the most qualified providers,
  4. reviewing the appropriateness of treatment plans, and
  5. authorizing payment for the services.
 

Using regulatory and statutory authority as well as program policies and procedures, the County CCS PHN, in conjunction with the State Nurse Consultant and other medical staff, determines medical eligibility through review of the medical documentation submitted for each child.

CCS carries out its mandate to assure that eligible children receive high-quality medical and dental care by limiting authorization to state CCS paneled providers. Authorization is granted to health care providers with documented training and experience in pediatrics and/or one of its subspecialties. 

The State CCS program assesses the qualifications of each provider on its panel and periodically updates its list of specialists. It also maintains a list of hospitals that have been reviewed and are found to meet program standards.
