Section 6802 - Community Child Health and Disability Prevention Program

(a) "Community child health and disability prevention (CHDP) program" means a community based and operated program of activities, approved and funded by the Department, necessary to comply with federal and state legislation and regulations that require:

(1) CHDP services to be made available to Medi-Cal beneficiaries from birth to 21 years of age, and to be reimbursed by the State.

(2) Health assessment and referral to diagnosis and treatment services to be made available to (1) children who are not Medi-Cal beneficiaries from birth until 90 days after entrance into the first grade, and (2) all persons under 19 years of age whose family income is not more than 200% of the federal poverty level. State reimbursement of the costs of health assessment and referral to diagnostic and treatment services for these children is limited by the amount of funds appropriated by the Legislature, and is made available only for those children who meet the age and family income criteria defined by the State Department of Health Services' Child Health and Disability Prevention Program.

(3) Children entering first grade to present a certificate within 90 days after entrance that they have received health assessment within the prior 18 months. A waiver signed by the child's parent or guardian indicating that they do not want or are unable to obtain such health assessment and evaluation services for their children shall be accepted in lieu of the certificate.
