Care Connection for Children, CHKD

Description:

Focus is on children and youth with chronic or disabling health care conditions. CCC provides health care coordination and financial assistance, based on eligibility, for health-related services. Also provides Parent-to-Parent support and assists with navigating the school system to obtain health related services.

Regional Centers of Excellence, known as the Care Connection for Children, house a care coordination team. This team facilitates medical and support services for children with special healthcare needs.

Our Care Connection for Children center strives to provide services that are family-centered, culturally sensitive, community-based, coordinated, collaborative and outcome-oriented.

In general, children and families can expect these services:

-- Access to medical specialty care.
-- Ongoing help in coordinating specialty care and accessing services.
-- Assistance with obtaining health insurance.
-- Help in understanding and using health insurance benefits.
-- Information about and referral to community resources.
-- Help communicating with schools, payers, providers and community services.
-- Help determining eligibility for access to a "pool of funds" to pay for those services, such as medical equipment, specialty physician visits and medications not covered by a child's insurance.
