CCS is a statewide program that treats children with medically eligible chronic health conditions, diseases and physical limitations. The goal of CCS is to identify children who may need specialized medical care and encourage and assist families with obtaining the necessary medical services. CCS coordinates and monitors medical services and can pay for specific medical treatment. The CCS program covers many serious medical conditions.
