County office that runs Children’s Services
Each county board must pick Public Health or Social Services to run California Children’s Services. Counties with over 200,000 people must run it on their own. Counties under 200,000 may run it alone or with the state. Counties with under 2,000 people may ask another county to run it if the other county agrees, meets state standards, and neither county is a Whole Child Model county. The state health department sets the rules for these agreements and can use bulletins and guidelines until formal rules are in place.
Medi‑Cal plans coordinate children’s specialty care
In Whole Child Model counties, once the state says the plan and county are ready, most California Children’s Services move into the Medi‑Cal managed care plan. For kids in both Medi‑Cal managed care and CCS, the plan now handles case management, care coordination, referrals, and service approvals. The county still decides CCS eligibility. Kids who are exempt from mandatory managed care keep county case management and approvals. The CCS Medical Therapy Program still provides needed occupational and physical therapy when a CCS doctor prescribes it. The state sets the start date and can use letters and bulletins until formal rules are adopted. The department must adopt rules by July 1, 2020 and send status reports to the Legislature every six months starting January 1, 2018 until rules are adopted.
