Services Funded by the Children’s Health Account
Cedar Family Centers are a care coordination system that provides families with assistance
and support to get the services needed for their child. Families’ needs are assessed and a
family-driven action plan is developed and implemented.
Home Based Therapeutic Services (HBTS) provides intensive one on one training and skill
development for children with significant developmental delays or major behavioral issues.
A clinical care team makes a plan in partnership with the family that will assist the child in
participating in their family and community.
Personal Assistance Services and Support (PASS) enables a child to work on everyday life
skills. A direct care worker, chosen by the family, supports the child participation in these
skill building activities multiple times during the week.
Kids Connect allows children to stay in childcare programs and provides a therapeutic
integration plan. This enables families to maintain their employment and provide for their
families with the comfort of knowing their child is in a supportive childcare setting.
Child and Adolescent Treatment Services (CAITS) help families to avoid the emergency
room by providing assistance during urgent and crisis situations.
Private Duty Nurses provide medical assistance for children who are medically
compromised. The frequency of the assistance depends on the child’s needs and
diagnosis.
Personal Care Services are provided by a CNA and help to keep children at home and out
of long term hospital stays.
No. Providers should not include any code in their billing for the state-supplied vaccines. They should only bill for administrative costs.
Since the assessment only covers the cost of the vaccine, providers will bill either the payers or the patients directly for vaccine administration fees, as is their current practice.
Yes. Pharmacists may also enroll in the Vaccine Distribution Program to receive state-supplied vaccine for all children and for adults who are covered by participating payers.
Patients whose payers have opted into the program will not be charged for the cost of the vaccine; however, some patients may still be charged an immunization administration fee by their provider.
The program is not funded by taxpayers. The program collects the costs of vaccines and program expenses from insurers, third-party administrators, and other payers who are already obligated to pay health care costs for their beneficiaries. These funds are paid directly to the state so the state can purchase vaccines at federal contract rates. This lowers the cost to insurers of funding immunization services.
