Prevention Program (CHDP)
Child Health and Disability Prevention Program (CHDP)
Many children and youth
in California have unmet health needs. Through the CHDP program,
eligible children and youth receive periodic preventive health
assessments. Children and youth with suspected problems are then
referred for diagnosis and treatment. Many health problems can be
prevented or corrected, or the severity reduced, by early detection
and prompt diagnosis and treatment.
▪ CHDP is a
screening program that also
provides vaccinations and preventive
healthcare
guidance for children.
▪ CHDP is not a
treatment program.
▪ CHDP, through the
CHDP Gateway Program, provides an opportunity
to access health
insurance coverage for treatment of conditions
discovered on the
health care exam and for ongoing routine care to
persons of low
income.
| A free health exam may
include: History and Physical Nutrition Screening Snellen Eye Exam Hearing Screening Urine and Blood Screening TB Screening Lead Testing Vaccination |
Tobacco Screening Developmental Screening Growth Screening Child Safety Guidance Parenting Guidance Referral for Dental Care Referral for Follow-up Care |
CHDP Gateway
If you do not already
have Medi-Cal or Healthy Families (MC/HF), when you get a CHDP
examination, an application will be sent to you. You need to fill out
and return in the envelope provided.
The Medi-Cal number you receive at the doctor’s office is only good
for a short period of time. Look at the expiration date!!! Your
application for MC/HF must be returned prior to the expiration date.
