What is California Children’s Services (CCS)?


Published: Feb. 3, 2022Updated: Mar. 17, 2022

California Children’s Services (CCS) is a state program that provides and funds diagnostic and treatment services to children under age 21 with CCS-eligible medical conditions. CCS may provide support for families who have exhausted other options, or for children with significant medical needs who aren’t otherwise eligible for services through Regional Center or Medi-Cal. (Like Regional Center and Medi-Cal, CCS funding is also secondary to insurance.)
