Children with Medical Handicaps (CMH) helps pay for medical costs associated with caring for children with special needs. It may cover costs not paid by Medicaid or private health insurance. It can lessen your out of pocket costs. We provide services for children living in all cities in Cuyahoga County.
There are two programs:
- The diagnostic program helps to pay for diagnosis of medical conditions – anyone can qualify for help
- The treatment program helps pay for the treatment of medical conditions – available to those who qualify both medically and financially
Your child may qualify for one or both programs if he or she is:
- 23 years old or younger
- A permanent Ohio resident
- Has a CMH-qualified medical concern or diagnosed condition
- Seen by a CMH doctor annually
If eligible, CMH may help to pay for these items and more:
- Hearing aids
- Office visits
- Resources
- Therapies
- X-rays
Public health nurses will also help to coordinate services for your child.
