About California Children's Services (CCS) Program

         CCS Exam

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.
