About California Children's Services (CCS) Program
CCS is a statewide program that coordinates and pays for medical care and therapy services for children under 21 years of age with certain health care
needs.
Los Angeles County CCS is part of the County of Los Angeles Department of
Public Health.
We work with:
Private insurance,
Medi-Cal Healthy Families, and
Healthy Kids
to provide services that they do not provide. We are the
"payer of last resort" for your child's CCS-eligible condition. That means, if you have any of the list above, we will find out if they can pay before we do.
